A massive influx of data centers to Georgia has led to a huge spike in demand for electricity. In order to meet this increased demand, utilities will need to bring a significant amount of new electricity to our grid, leading to increasingly expensive plans to provide this power by expanding our reliance on gas and coal.
A bill in the Georgia Legislature, SB 34, would ensure that these electricity costs caused by data centers are paid by the data centers themselves — not by other Georgia Power bill payers and constituents like you!
In late 2025, Georgia Public Service Commission approved a massive 10 GW expansion of Georgia Power's electric grid, and 80-90% of that electricity is for data centers. This expansion is estimated to cost up to $50 billion, so it's more important than ever that we pass SB 34 and ensure data centers pay these costs.
Our state lawmakers need to stay committed to protecting their constituents and Georgia’s clean energy goals. Take action and reach out to your state senator to tell them to vote YES ON SB 34!
