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!
