From workplace installations and our buy back program, to non-installation options, our goal is to make solar an option for every Georgia Power customer.
Rooftop Installations
Learn more about our behind-the-meter solar programs, including the new Renewable and Nonrenewable Resources (RNR) program, and how to interconnect your system.
Community Solar
Small Business Customers, you can solar without rooftop panels! Purchase a monthly Community Solar subscription and receive energy credits on your monthly bill based on the amount of energy produced at our solar farms.
Income-Qualified Community Solar Sponsor
Become a corporate sponsor to provide income qualified customers access to Community Solar generate energy at a discounted price. RECs will be retired on your behalf.
Retail REC Retirement (R3)
Support your sustainability initiatives through a reallocation of the Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from resources that are already online or currently in the development process.
We will retire the RECs on behalf of participating customers through an annual attestation allowing participants to receive the envronmental attributes.
Simple Solar Program
For businesses with usage less than 100,000 kwh per month, Georgia Power matches either 50% or 100% of customers electric energy usage with solar RECs and retires them on behalf of the participating customer, giving them the ability to claim the renewable benefits.
Flex REC Program
For Georgia Power business customers who use ≥ 100,000 kWh of electric energy in a single month. Derived from solar, wind, and potentially other renewable sources, this program allows customers to meet their sustainability goals with Renewable Energy Credits (REC).
Clean And Renewable Energy Subscription Program (CARES)
Georgia Power’s CARES Program allows commercial and industrial (C&I) customers to support their sustainability initiatives. Georgia Power will procure 2,100 megawatts (MW) of new renewable resources through power purchase agreements (PPAs) for subscription by C&I customers.
Customer-Connected Solar Program
The Customer Connected Solar Program allows customers to partner with any solar developer to build a solar facility on, or adjacent to, the customer’s property. Georgia Power will purchase 100% of the energy generated.
Distributed Generation Request for Proposal
The 2023 Distributed Generation Request for Proposals has launched its website for interested participants to register to receive up-to-date information. Georgia Power offers optional Interconnection Guidance to assist developers in determining the feasibility of their potential bids, with information linked below.
Reduce your carbon footprint with RECs.
No solar panels required.
There is no way to distinguish what part of the electricity at your location came from what energy source in our diverse fuel portfolio. The only way we have of tracking our renewable energy once it connects to the grid is through Renewable Energy Credits (RECs).
1. We source energy + RECs
A Renewable Energy Credit (REC) is generated for every 1MWh of energy produced from renewable energy sources.
2. You purchase the RECs
Every month you'll receive a certificate for the value of RECs purchased through one of our solar programs.
3. You claim the renewable energy
We retire the RECs on your behalf, and you claim the energy credits to help meet your sustainability goals.
