Make Ready Infrastructure Program

Powering your EV future

Our Make Ready program offers funding and support to develop the electrical infrastructure needed for your EV charger installations, significantly reducing upfront costs and accelerating the installation process. With up to $300K in funding per qualifying project and expert assistance, there’s never been a better time to set up EV charging at your business.

We'll manage the design, construction, and ongoing maintenance of all electrical infrastructure leading up to your chargers, making it easier for your business to meet the growing demand for reliable EV charging while contributing to a sustainable future.

We install and maintain the electrical infrastructure behind your meter up to your charger ports.

How It Works

5 steps to get your project completed

Step 1: Application

Complete an application for pre-approval. You will need to provide relevant project details including:

  • Your Georgia Power account number​
  • Site address for the charger installation​
  • Contractor’s contact information (if applicable)

Step 2: Eligibility Review

Once you submit your application, our team will review your project details to confirm it meets the program criteria. We will contact you to discuss your project details and schedule a site visit.

Step 3: Site Assessment & Design

Our experts will conduct an on-site visit to assess your power availability and develop the site design to ensure sufficient power capacity based on your charger needs and desired location.

Step 4: Project Planning

Once the site design is finalized, and the project receives approval from all relevant parties, you may purchase your chargers while we order the infrastructure equipment. Note that project timelines may vary due to global supply chain delays.

Step 5: Construction

A pre-construction meeting will be held on site upon equipment arrival. System installation will begin soon after, and you can install your chargers once the infrastructure is complete.

Your chargers are now ready to use!
