Georgia Power in December 2025: Data Center Boom, Rising Bills and a New PSC Shake-Up

As of December 1, 2025, Georgia Power sits at the center of a rare collision of forces: a once‑in‑a‑generation data center boom, sharply higher electricity bills, and a newly reshaped Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) that voters just used to vent their frustration. Over the next few weeks, regulators will decide whether to let Georgia Power add roughly 10 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity—about the equivalent of ten nuclear reactors at Plant Vogtle—mainly to serve AI and cloud data centers flocking to the state. Consumer groups warn the move could lock in billions of dollars of costs and raise household

Georgia Power’s $16.3B AI data-center power push leans on gas, putting bills under the microscope

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 08:57 ET Georgia Power plans a $16.3 billion construction program to add about 10,000 megawatts of generation in Georgia, much of it to serve fast-growing data centers, after state regulators approved the expansion.

Data Center Stocks: AI Capex Boom Meets Power-Grid Bottlenecks — Today’s News and 2026 Outlook (Dec. 20, 2025)

December 20, 2025 — Data center stocks have become one of the market’s most crowded (and consequential) intersections: artificial intelligence demand on one side, and real-world constraints—power, land, permitting, and financing—on the other. The investment story isn’t just about more GPUs and bigger server halls. It’s increasingly about who can secure megawatts, finance the build, and turn capex into durable cash flow. This weekend’s headlines sharpen that tension. Regulators in Georgia approved a massive electricity-generation expansion to serve data centers. In the Mid-Atlantic, federal regulators pushed PJM to clarify rules for AI-driven large loads—especially when they’re colocated near power plants.

That tension was on full display from December 19–21—a three-day stretch that brought fresh evidence of a global data center construction wave, rising regulatory and political pushback on electricity costs, and renewed questions about the sustainability of debt-heavy AI expansion.
