Georgia Power, utility to over 2.6 million customers, issued a request for proposal (RFP) for 1030 MW of new renewable energy generation. Applicable projects will be 3 MW or greater in size, and would reach in-service dates in 2023 and 2024.
The utility has 2700 MW of active renewable energy in its portfolio, with another 2,700 MW set to come online by the end of 2024.
The request for proposal, or the 23-24 RFP, is the second of two utility-scale solicitations from Georgia Power’s 2019 integrated resource plan (IRP). The IRP authorized Georgia power to procure 2,000 MW of U.S.-based renewable energy.
Bids for the RFP will be accepted as soon as Q1 2022. Accion Group, Inc will serve as the independent evaluator. Both standalone generation and co-located generation-plus-storage applications will be accepted, said Georgia Power. Interested parties are encouraged to visit the Accion website to review RFP and power purchase agreement (PPA) documentation.
Georgia ranks 9th nationally in solar capacity installed, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). SEIA reports 3.65% of Georgia’s energy mix comes from solar, and there is enough PV installed to support the equivalent of 374,248 homes.

Total investment in solar in the state is estimated at $3.8 billion, said SEIA, and prices have fallen by 36% over the last five years. SEIA estimates the solar industry employs 4,466 people in the state of Georgia.

Good day to all,
VISION AND DEPLOYMENT TO REACH OUR TARGET AT MUCH FASTER AND IN A PROFITABLE WAY.
My mission is to generate surplus electrical energy to meet our current and future demands in a faster way and at the same time store and deliver the demands in secure and safe way electrical energy.
There is no technology to store electrical energy in a bulky way in a short time except
some kind of batteries in the area for a transportation industry and domestic lighting industry.
I want to change our approach to meet the electrical energy demand in front of us.
My immediate requirements:
1. I want to Implement a different approach to generate much larger quantity of non fossil electrical energy in terms Mega Watt hours ready to be transmitted to transportation industry. Technology is available to store electricity in terms of Mega What hours in large battery storage centers and which are ready to fill electricity to EVs allover the country.
2. My next Vision deployment is to change the existing solar farm electricity generation into a much more profitable renewable electrical industry. This demands much bigger Solar farms. Existing Solar farms efficiency is around twenty percent. Solar farm can not be a profitable industry with increasing its production.
I add a Non-invasive wind electric wind turbine farm to the existing Solar farm.
I have a wind electric design that merges with the existing Solar farm and generates wind electricity from the existing Solar electricity farm.
I validated this kind of Wind & Solar Electricity farm to increase the generated output of renewable embedded electricity and make every Wind Solar electric generation in to a very profitable business.
Last but not least is that the merger of Solar & Wind Electricity generation can be integrated much faster because the addition of non invasive wind turbine frame to the existing Solar farm doesn’t need much time and investment.
I like to say a few words about Implementation of Vision to reach my goals at this occasion in detail if any investor and technical team is interested.
Thanks,
Bhaskar Vemuri
