State resourcing plans are increasingly updating battery energy storage systems (BESS) plans, especially those tied to solar. US utility Georgia Power has filed its 2025 update to its Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) with the first update since 2023 showing further acceleration in the utility's adoption of (BESS).
Also notable is that Georgia Power is looking at longer duration energy storage, with 3,000 MW per year of 4-hour energy storage is projected to be added starting in 2028, while 3,000 MW per year of 12-hour energy storage is planned from 2033. Small-scale BESS boost
At the same time, procurement of energy from new battery energy storage (BESS) projects is also expected to be a part of all-source capacity Request for Proposals or RFPs, building on the company's current plans to add more than 1,500 MW of BESS in the coming years, said Georgia Power.
