ATLANTA, May 7, 2025 / PRNewswire / -- Georgia Power announced today that construction is underway on 765-megawatts (MW) of new battery energy storage systems (BESS) strategically located across Georgia in Bibb, Lowndes, Floyd and Cherokee counties. . 190 MW (361 MWh), and 770 MW (2280 MWh) BESS under construction. The three new BESS — Bright Arrow, Big Star and Mesquite 4 — bring RWE� s total U. battery storage capacity to about 512 MW (1370 MWh). Additionally, at 14 GW, BESS comprises more than a third of RWE's 36 GW onshore wind, solar and. . A BESS is a large-scale energy storage facility that captures electricity—often from renewable sources like solar or wind—and stores it for use when demand is high or supply is low. These systems are rapidly changing how industries manage their energy needs. Developed by IP Darden I, LLC, a subsidiary of Intersect Power, the project integrates a 1,150 MW solar photovoltaic facility with 1,150 MW / 4,600 MWh of storage capacity. The projects will be located near the Texas cities of Houston and Dallas.
