Georgia Could More than Triple Solar Power Capacity: Filed under: Energy News

Georgia Could More than Triple Solar Power Capacity: Filed under: Energy News

For example, Georgia Solar Utilities proposed to generate 2,000 MW. It was noted that even with weaker sunshine, Germany has expanded its solar capacity very much. Sunlight in Georgia is stronger, so it should have greater energy potential on that score. Critics of the energy industry in Georgia have said Georgia Power wields too much influence in the state legislation and has worked to block the flowering of renewable energy. (Georgia apparently is one of the states without a state requirement for developing clean energy.) If Germany’s huge solar expansion with relatively low levels of solar irradiation is unconvincing, consider that New Jersey is a solar leader in the United States (#2 for installed solar power capacity) but is far north of Georgia. Add Ohio, New York, and Massachusetts to the list of northern states that are working to expand their solar capacities. Geo...
