Our Solar Facilities
Not all solar facilities you may come across belong to Georgia Power. We have constructed and are operating 16 solar farms and additional demo facilities across the state of Georgia, many in partnership with military installations. The largest, at 128 MW of capacity, is located at Robins Air Force Base in Warner Robins, Georgia. Other facilities add carbon-free energy to the grid and supply renewable energy in support of our Community Solar program.
