Georgia Power, which is an investor owned utility with more than 2 million consumers, has provided a refreshing effort to modernize its hydroelectric generation facilities.
Georgia Power Georgia owns a total of 66 hydroelectric generating units and more than 1,100 MW of hydroelectric capacity, with the interest of ownership in 16th, with 15 hydro generation facilities and operates. This utility is investing in its hydro fleet with review and approval of the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC). Recently, the company received approval in the 2025 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) to modernize its hydro -fleet with more advanced investment and upgrade to Talola, Jonah, Bartlet Ferry, and North Hypelor Hydro facilities.
The company’s investment in its hydro facilities identifies the necessary equipment that has reached or is close to the end of its useful life and needs modernization investment to continue their production capacity and maintain their FERC licenses. Hydro -modernization projects include the necessary significant changes and/or renewal of turbines, generators, and plant balance balance. This investment is designed to allow these resources to run for at least 40 years, while improving the performance and integrity of the hydro -fleet and protects the valuable valuable, discharge carbon -free resources.

The work scope includes generator changes, turbine changes, and plant (BOP) balance change, such as lubricating oil, service water system, 480-volt switch gear, and plant control. The completion of this work in Togalo is followed by similar work in the nearest plant, which was completed several years ago.
The filing also mentions progress in work in Plant Bartlet Ferry, Nicochi, Oliver, Burton and Sanklear. In particular, work on Bartlet’s ferry unit 1 has been completed, and this unit returned to service in July this year.
