About Us

Powering Georgia is a project of the Southern Renewable Energy Association, an organization representing renewable energy stakeholders across the Southeastern United States. SREA brings together policymakers, local residents, and developers to advocate for practical, inclusive power solutions.

Mission Statement:

As Georgia’s population grows and demand increases, our electric system faces an aging grid that must be modernized to keep up with new loads—from homes and businesses to data centers—and the water resources those data centers consume. Strengthening transmission, expanding storage, and embracing diverse energy sources will help ensure reliability while managing water use and environmental impacts.

Powering Georgia mobilizes diverse stakeholders across the Peach State to advance transparent, evidence-based renewable energy policies. We co-create practical energy solutions that deliver reliable, affordable power for all Georgians today, while building a stronger, more resilient future for generations to come.

Powering Georgia serves the people by advocating for an affordable and resilient grid. We believe reliable electricity is foundational to families’ well-being and to local economies. By uniting policymakers, communities, and developers, we work to strengthen the grid so outages are shorter and less frequent. Our goal is to empower every neighborhood—from rural towns to urban centers—with access to dependable power, reduce energy burdens, and build grid resilience against rising energy costs and extreme weather.

Why we do it: Energy is a backbone of everyday life - homes, schools, healthcare, and small businesses rely on it. When energy is affordable and reliable, families have less financial stress, and communities can attract more investment and more opportunity.
What we stand for: Open, inclusive dialogue; policies grounded in data and fairness; and practical solutions that prioritize people over profits.
Our impact: A stronger, more resilient grid; predictable energy costs; better emergency readiness; and a strong economic future for the State of Georgia.

Powering Georgia

Powering Georgia is a nonpartisan coalition of Georgians united to identify, engage, and empower voices across the state who support utility-scale renewable energy developments. Our mission is simple: accelerate clean energy growth in Georgia by finding and connecting landowners, farmers, business leaders, and community stakeholders who understand that a modern, reliable grid requires local, scalable solutions.

If you share a bold vision for a Georgia where clean energy is homegrown, reliable, and genuinely benefits every community, Powering Georgia invites you to join us. This is about real progress, real collaboration, and real results—together, we will drive the energy future Georgia deserves.

Challenge Misinformation

Powering Georgia partners with communities across the state to counter misinformation about renewable energy and to support community leaders in crafting clear, practical language for advocating when wind or solar projects come to their areas.

Coalition Building

Powering Georgia believes lasting change comes from uniting communities, policymakers, and industry partners to advocate for transparent, evidence-based renewable energy policies. By forming broad coalitions across the state, we advance practical, affordable power solutions that protect everyday Georgians.
