Re: Urgent Needs for Georgia Power’s Behind-the-Meter (BTM) Solar Policies

Mr. Mallard,

On behalf of Georgia’s solar contractors, electrical firms, engineers, and the thousands of

Georgians employed in the clean-energy construction sector, we are writing to share a set of

recurring and systemic challenges our members are experiencing with Georgia Power’s

behind-the-meter (BTM) interconnection policies and practices. These issues are materially

affecting project timelines, customer decisions, and workforce planning across the state.

Our intent in sending this letter directly to Georgia Power is to provide an opportunity for

discussion, clarification, and corrective action where appropriate. We are copying the Georgia

Public Service Commission to ensure transparency and to reflect the statewide significance of

these concerns.

Georgia currently trails its peer states in customer-sited solar adoption despite having some of

the strongest economic potential in the Southeast. Georgia Power’s interconnection process

remains a major driver of delays, increased project costs, redesigns, and administrative burden.

These requirements add multiple months to project timelines, disrupt construction schedules,

and create uncertainty that contractors and customers cannot plan around.

At the same time, Georgia Power’s demand-charge ratchet practices have become a significant

barrier to the deployment of behind-the-meter solar paired with energy storage for large

commercial and institutional customers. Schools, manufacturers, churches, and

property-portfolio owners frequently decline to move forward with otherwise viable projects

because a single 15-minute demand event can determine demand charges for an entire year,

making bill savings unpredictable and exposing customers to disproportionate downside risk.

At a time when Georgia Power is projecting unprecedented load growth and has requested

roughly 10 GW of additional generation to meet rising demand, each abandoned

behind-the-meter solar-plus-storage project reduces the amount of local, customer-funded

capacity that could otherwise help meet the grid needs Georgia Power itself has identified.

The challenges outlined below are structural, not anecdotal, and are shared nearly universally

among behind-the-meter contractors operating in Georgia. Each issue includes a practical,

implementation-ready solution.

1. Unjustified Denial of Solar on Delta Services

Georgia Power has recently begun denying all behind-the-meter DER applications for

customers served by transformer banks with a delta configuration on the secondary side.

Georgia Power has indicated that this requirement is based on concerns associated with

open-delta conditions following a primary phase loss.

Open-delta operation is an inherent characteristic of delta transformer banks and exists

regardless of whether distributed generation is present. During such a contingency, transformer

capacity is reduced (to approximately 58%) and the affected primary conductor will remain

energized due to transformer coupling. That condition arises from the topology of the delta bank

itself, not from the presence of solar generation.

While an exporting DER can contribute current during an open-phase condition, that

contribution is negligible. It does not create the contingency and does not fundamentally alter

the nature of the underlying transformer condition. Further, any potential contribution from a

DER can be addressed through export limitations or non-export configurations rather than

categorical transformer replacement.

Impact:

Customers with existing delta service—common in small commercial and light industrial buildings such as churches and rural businesses—are prevented from installing solar unless they fund transformer replacement.
Customers must pay to replace utility-owned equipment or abandon projects entirely.
Many viable projects have already been canceled due to added cost and uncertainty.

Older commercial properties and rural facilities are disproportionately affected.

Requested Solution:
Georgia Power shall immediately rescind the blanket prohibition on solar interconnections behind delta transformer banks. Interconnections should be evaluated according to established national standards (UL 1741, IEEE 1547) and Georgia Power’s own historic technical practices. If Georgia Power believes a specific installation presents a legitimate engineering concern, it should provide written, technically defensible justification rather than relying on unsupported categorical bans.

2. Lengthy, Inconsistent, and Opaque Interconnection Application Process

Georgia Power’s behind-the-meter interconnection application process often requires weeks to

months to fully complete , preventing contractors from beginning on-site work, allocating

staffing, or coordinating effectively with construction schedules. While completed applications

may be reviewed quickly, the path to reaching a complete and accepted application has become

progressively longer and more difficult over the past decade.

The process itself is frequently inconsistent and subject to change . Commercial systems, in

particular, have at times remained with Georgia Power’s internal legal review team for months

without explanation or clear feedback, leaving customers and contractors unable to move

forward. In recent years, GPC has increasingly demanded impact studies without explanation

for very small commercial, and even residential, systems. Projects can sit in this status for 60

days or longer without explanation.

The administrative burden has been further exacerbated by the recent requirement for all

battery storage systems to submit a supplemental DB18-23 form . This 15-page document

largely duplicates technical data already captured within the PowerClerk application. This

redundant step adds hours of unnecessary paperwork for installers and confusion for

customers, without providing any additional safety or grid-reliability data that isn't already on file.

Georgia Power generally requires permanent utility power and an active customer account

before reviewing a residential solar interconnection application. As a result, solar work is often

delayed until late in the construction timeline, forcing contractors to return to completed

buildings, increasing costs, and discouraging builders from incorporating solar altogether.

From an installer’s perspective, an application is considered “smooth” when it requires

approximately five hours of administrative work to complete. Applications that do not proceed

smoothly can require multiple days of staff time , repeated revisions, and extensive

back-and-forth communication to navigate evolving requirements and unclear expectations. This

causes frustration and confusion for installers and customers, increases soft costs, and

disproportionately impacts solar projects on new construction sites where timelines are critical.

Impact:

Contractors are unable to reliably plan staffing, construction schedules, or capital deployment
Many projects experience extended delays with no clear explanation or timeline
Soft costs increase significantly and customers experience confusion and uncertainty regarding project feasibility and timing

Requested Solution:
Georgia Power shall improve transparency and predictability in the interconnection application process by:

Publishing and maintaining a clear, stable, and streamlined application process that eliminates redundant paperwork and provides a predictable timeline for approval.
Providing written explanations and firm timelines when applications are delayed for legal, engineering, or impact-study review
Establishing a pre-application review pathway (for all customer classes, including residential) using basic project information (project address, system size, etc), with feedback provided within two weeks. If no issues are identified then the project shall be permitted to proceed with installation ahead of the rest of the process, however the application must be satisfactorily completed by both parties before the system may be energized.
Reviewing interconnection applications for buildings that are in the construction phase prior to permanent power being established and before a Georgia Power account is active.

3. Demand-Charge Ratchet Practices That Discourage Behind-the-Meter Storage

Georgia Power’s 12-month demand-charge ratchet makes ESS-based peak shaving economically risky by allowing a single 15-minute event to determine demand charges for an entire year, discouraging customers from deploying storage even when it would otherwise reduce peak load.

Impact:

Customers face disproportionate financial exposure from short-duration events, such as brief ESS outages, maintenance periods, or abnormal operating conditions
A single 15-minute peak can lock customers into elevated demand charges for 12 months, even when storage systems perform as intended for the remainder of the year
Commercial and industrial customers decline to deploy ESS due to asymmetric downside risk that cannot be reasonably mitigated, limiting peak-load reduction, grid resiliency, and customer-funded capacity benefits.

Requested Solution:
Georgia Power shall modify its demand-charge ratchet structure for customers deploying behind-the-meter energy storage by:

Basing demand charges on the highest 15-minute demand measured over a rolling 30-day period, rather than a 12-month lookback; or
Providing an ESS-specific demand-charge option that limits the ratchet duration to reflect the operational realities of battery systems; or
Allowing customers with verified ESS peak-shaving controls to exclude isolated abnormal events from ratchet calculations

4. Unnecessary Equipment and Infrastructure Costs

Georgia Power sizes its distribution transformers using load diversity and acceptable overload factors to safely serve customer consumption, knowing customers will not use their full service capacity all at once. However, when customer generation is introduced, Georgia Power applies a materially more conservative standard by modeling solar interconnections based on theoretical maximum continuous export rather than realistic operating conditions. This inconsistent application of engineering assumptions forces solar customers to pay for unnecessary transformer upgrades.

Another example is Georgia Power’s refusal to allow meter collars, which are allowed by many other utility companies and save the customer thousands of dollars by utilizing existing infrastructure in their home to connect the DER more easily.

Impact:

Customers face unnecessary, unexpected charges that can kill projects
Unequal treatment between solar and non-solar customers
The prohibition of certified meter collar adapters forces invasive, high-cost electrical work for automatic transfer functions that could be handled by simpler, manufacturer-certified hardware.

Requested Solution:
Georgia Power shall evaluate transformer adequacy using the same load-diversity and operating assumptions applied to customer consumption, rather than assuming continuous full-capacity export. Where legitimate transformer constraints exist, customers shall be permitted to avoid upgrades through verified export-limiting controls rather than being required to fund full transformer replacement.

Behind-the-meter energy storage systems (ESS) configured for non-export operation shall not be included in the AC capacity used for transformer upgrade determinations, as such systems do not export power to the grid.

Furthermore, Georgia Power should permit the use of UL-listed meter collar adapters from reputable manufacturers. These devices provide a safe, standardized, and cost-effective method for implementing automatic transfer functions, reducing the need for the expensive service-entrance modifications currently required by GPC policy.

5. Excessive and Redundant Witness Test Requirements

Georgia Power requires costly and disruptive witness tests even though the inverters are UL1741 SA-SB / IEEE1547-certified. For systems over 250 kW-AC, GPC requires up to a 4-hour customer power shutdown and charges $3,900–$4,400 per test. If the system does not reach 85% of its AC rating due to weather conditions or a narrow DC to AC ratio (sometimes that’s the customer preference and legal right), the customer must pay again and again for the test until it passes GPC’s highly restrictive parameters. The nationally recognized UL and IEEE standards exist to certify safety and grid-interconnection compliance, therefore, requiring a witness test is operationally redundant.

Impact:

This unnecessary power outage causes large facilities to have to schedule a shutdown
Commercial and industrial customers abandon or downsize projects
Lost economic development opportunities for Georgia businesses
Contractor scheduling disruptions and increased project risk

Requested Solution:
GPC shall eliminate witness tests for systems with grid-interactive inverters that are third-party certified for UL1741SA/SB and IEEE1547 compliance. Alternatively, allow an expedited witness test for all systems, including those that are 250kW-AC and over.

Conclusion

Georgia’s behind-the-meter solar workforce—comprising electricians, engineers, project managers, skilled laborers, equipment distributors, and support staff—stands ready to deliver thousands of additional jobs and hundreds of millions in local investment annually. But some of Georgia Power’s policies suppress this growth.

Every issue listed above has a clear, implementable solution that preserves safety, grid reliability, and customer protection while restoring fairness and economic opportunity.

We respectfully request the opportunity to discuss these issues with Georgia Power staff and leadership, including potential near-term process improvements and longer-term policy adjustments. Our members are eager to work collaboratively to reduce friction, improve predictability, and enable behind-the-meter solar and storage to support Georgia Power’s reliability and capacity objectives.

Georgia’s solar industry is ready to work collaboratively with the Commission and Georgia Power to ensure the state remains competitive, innovative, and economically vibrant. To be clear, we are not asking for new incentives, taxes, or ratepayer money; we are simply asking for the removal of the artificial and unnecessary technical and administrative barriers that currently stifle private investment and customer choice.

Take action to save solar tax credits

jamreilly@gmail.com (James Reilly) — Thu, 15 May 2025 19:37:18 GMT

"Congress should not turn their backs on Georgia families at this time. Protect the 25D tax credit and help homeowners invest in resilient, innovative, and cost-effective energy solutions."

On Monday, members of Congress submitted a budget proposal that cuts the 25D residential tax credit at the end of 2025, which includes a 30% tax credit for solar and batteries.

Cutting the 25D tax credit is bad for Georgia families. Georgians are more vulnerable than ever to rapidly increasing power bills as well as outages from severe weather. Communities across Georgia are still recovering from Hurricane Helene, the most destructive storm in Georgia Power’s 140-year history. Many areas lost power for over a week, but those with residential solar & battery systems had access to safe backup power during this emergency. Today, homeowners across Georgia are seeing the tremendous value (and peace of mind) that a residential solar & battery system provides and cutting these tax credits will make it more expensive for Georgians to save money on increasing power bills and keep the lights on in an emergency.

Residential solar & batteries are no longer a luxury, they are a vital solution for Georgia homeowners and families who want more certainty and greater peace of mind.

Congress should not turn their backs on Georgia families at this time. Protect the 25D tax credit and help homeowners invest in resilient, innovative, and cost-effective energy solutions.

GA Solar Policy Update

jamreilly@gmail.com (James Reilly) — Mon, 12 May 2025 14:05:14 GMT

GA Solar advocates for better solar policies in Georgia

Greetings GA Solar Members, Supporters, and Friends,

There is a lot happening in the distributed solar and storage industry in Georgia. Our team has been busy advocating for an innovative battery program in GA Power’s IRP, protecting tax credits at the federal level, supporting great energy programs like GA Bright and GEFA’s Home Energy Rebates, and hosting fun events to convene industry professionals.

Here's an update on our ongoing efforts to advocate for solar-friendly policies and programs in Georgia, along with ways you can get involved. Thank you for supporting GA Solar .

Policy Update

State update :

It’s a busy year at the Public Service Commission. Our focus at the moment is Georgia Power’s 2025 IRP, specifically the proposed 50MW Residential and Small Commercial Solar + Battery Pilot. This proposed program, modeled after similar “Virtual Power Plant” programs in other states, was informed in large part by our testimony in the 2023 IRP Update and subsequent stakeholder meetings at the Public Service Commission. We would like to thank PSC staff, Georgia Power staff, and many other industry experts for a robust stakeholder process during the past year.

We are cautiously optimistic about this proposed 50 MW pilot and the opportunity for behind-the-meter solar and batteries to benefit the grid in a meaningful way. We intervened again this year to make sure this program is designed for maximum success for customers, installers, ratepayers, and the grid. Read our 2025 IRP expert testimony here.

Federal update :

On the federal level, things are tumultuous and uncertain. We are hearing that members of congress are considering cutting the 25D tax credit , which includes residential solar and batteries. Despite the fact that Georgia is seeing unprecedented load growth, and despite record demand for home batteries in the wake of hurricane Helene – the most destructive storm in Georgia Power’s 140 year history – Congress is considering cutting this important tax credit that helps homeowners invest in resilient, innovative, and cost-effective energy solutions.

Also, in a letter dated May 1st , 38 members of congress are urging a full repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act’s energy tax credits, including the successful manufacturing tax credits that have brought billions in new investments and thousands of jobs to Georgia.

Over 2,400 New Solar Jobs Can be Created by Expanding Program

Thu, 07 Dec 2023 19:12:15 GMT

For More Information:
Don Moreland, Admin@GaSolar.org, c-703-475-3228

Atlanta, GA – New testimony filed by the Georgia Solar Energy Association shows that expanding a solar program managed by Georgia Power to just 3% of customers would create 2,422 new jobs and help customers reduce electricity bills by over $75 million per year through energy savings and grid-efficiency improvements.

Georgia Power’s monthly-netting pilot program which provides credits to homes and businesses for the solar energy they push back onto the grid, was capped to just 5,000 customers by the Public Service Commission in 2019. The program became over-subscribed within two-years, and added more customer-owned solar energy in Georgia than the previous 20-years combined.

The solar energy industry currently employs 5,341 Georgians. Georgia Solar Energy Association’s testimony, authored with support from Greenlink Analytics, indicates that an expansion of the pilot program to 80,000 customers will add another 1,477 jobs directly to the State’s solar industry and 945 indirect jobs. In polling released earlier this year , 80% of all Georgians supported the expansion of the monthly netting program.

As a part of Georgia Power’s rate-case filing, the company seeks to prohibit the addition of new customers into the monthly-netting program, to charge customers a new $200 fee to add solar energy systems to their homes and businesses, and to increase utility rates by 12% over the next two years.

“The evidence is clear that Georgians want more clean energy, and that clean energy is good for all Georgians,” said Don Moreland, Executive Director of the Georgia Solar Energy Association. “Georgia Solar is urging the commission to restore the monthly netting program without a cap for the next three years to allow Georgia customers to be fairly compensated for the benefit they provide to the grid”

Monthly netting is a basic utility policy that has helped neighboring states like North and South Carolina allow more customer-owned solar energy systems. Public proceedings in the Rate Case continue on November 28th with a decision expected from the Commission on December 20th.

GA Solar Summit Thank You

Wed, 18 Oct 2023 18:08:54 GMT

Grateful, humble, and deeply appreciative are just a few words that come to mind when thinking about the 2023 Solar Summit this past Tuesday at the Kendeda Building at Georgia Tech. The speakers all brought their A-game to put on a fantastic and informative show before an amazing turnout of ~150 clean energy professionals, advocates, and enthusiasts.

There are too many people that helped make this one of the best Solar Summits ever, but a very special thanks goes out to a few people who without their generous contributions, the event would not have been possible. It all starts with Dr. Marilyn Brown who not only sponsored this year's event but also put together an amazing panel of researchers that centered equity as being a fundamental cornerstone of a clean energy future.

We would be remiss not to recognize our gratuitous hosts at the Kendeda Building, but more specifically, Shan Arora, whose name may be familiar to those that have been in the clean energy space for a while. Shan made the planning, logistics and catering for the event appear effortless but we know he worked hard to make this year's event special.

A special thanks goes out to our keynote speakers, Bill Nussey and Charles Hua, who both brought critical information and insights that provided a clear vision of the future of solar and electrification. Finally, we want to thank the GA Solar board members that worked tirelessly behind the scenes these past few months to organize the event and bring it in for a soft landing. Without the support from Co-Chairs Christopher Matos-Rogers and James Reilly, Co-Vice Chair Gustavo Arce, and board members Michael MacMiller, Polly Sadler, and Charles Herrig, this event would not have been possible.

From all of us at GA Solar to all of those that attended, sponsored, and participated in the 2023 Solar Summit, a heartfelt thank you goes out to all of you that made this event special and helped solidify GA Solar as the premier solar education and advocacy nonprofit organization in Georgia. We promise to continue our efforts to add value to your membership and make Georgia a great place to do business for solar energy.

GA Solar Announces Speakers for the 2023 Georgia Solar Summit

Thu, 05 Oct 2023 18:08:19 GMT

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

October 4, 2023

ATLANTA -- After 10 consecutive years of bringing the Georgia solar industry together for one day of networking, education, and collaboration to make Georgia a better place to do business for solar, the Georgia Solar Energy Association annual Solar Summit took a hiatus in 2019, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now the Georgia Solar Summit is back for 2023, on October 10th, at the Georgia Tech Kendeda Building .

It seems there has been a lot of pent-up demand since our last Solar Summit because this year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever. Whether it be the great lineup of speakers, incredible sponsors, all-day and all-inclusive catering, or the beautiful setting of the Kendeda Building, this year’s event will be second to none. Here is what you can expect at this year’s event. > See Event Itinerary Here

Bill Nussey, Morning Keynote Speaker, 9:00 am; Sponsor: PV Heating & Air

Don’t miss our featured keynote speaker, Bill Nussey, give an inspiring, forward-thinking vision of how the solar industry will look 3, 5, and 10 years from now. This is an opportunity to learn from a premier clean energy thought leader. Bill Nussey, author of Freeing Energy, a podcast by the same name, and partner at venture firms Engage and Tech Square Ventures, will help guide you from where distributed energy technologies are now to how they will become a key part of our clean energy future. Doors open at 8:30 so get there early and get ready. Coffee, juice, and breakfast snacks will be served.

Georgia Solar Policy, 9:45 am – 11:00 am; Sponsor: GaSEIA; Panel Flyer

We have assembled some of the most impactful lawmakers and policy experts in Georgia to give a preview of next year’s legislative session and what’s next at the Public Service Commission. The Georgia Solar Policy panel discussion includes frontline policy influencers Representative Mandisha Thomas, Senator Ed Setzler, Representative Joseph Gullet, PSC Commissioner Tim Echols, and SELC Staff Atty Bob Sherrier. Topics of discussion will include active bills SB 210, HB 73, and HB 355; Georgia Power mini-IRP and RFI; and other important policy information that you will not get anywhere else.

Solar and Equity, 11:15 am – 12:30 pm; Sponsor: Keep Echols PSC; Panel Flyer

Clean energy leader and the primary sponsor for this year’s event, Regents' and Brook Byers Professor of Sustainable Systems in the Georgia Tech School of Public Policy, Dr. Marilyn Brown has assembled an all-female, all-star research and solar advocacy panel to discuss the important role that solar energy plays in the quest for a fair and equitable transition. Next, Carys Behnke, ORISE Science & Technology Policy Fellow at U.S. Department of Energy, will review her research from her graduate thesis at Georgia State University on rooftop solar uptake in the City of Atlanta, which concludes that the uptake of rooftop solar in Black neighborhoods in Atlanta is not a depiction of equity, but a display of ongoing gentrification and the pushing out of Atlanta’s black population overall. Lastly, Laura Taylor, Interim Director of the Energy, Policy, and Innovation Center at Georgia Tech will lead an in-depth discussion about the utility-scale solar, land values, and the impact of solar on land values and vice versa. The transition to a clean energy future will only happen once and it is incumbent upon all of us in this space to ensure the transition is inclusive and that the benefits go to the whole rather than the few. This is your chance to engage in that effort.

Lunch and Keynote Lunch Speaker, 12:30 pm – 1:45 pm; Sponsor: Mokun Solar Technology

During the lunch break, we will hear from special guest and keynote speaker, Charles Hua, a Policy Analyst at Rewiring America. We’ve all heard about the Inflation Reduction Act but now we will hear from one of the policy experts that helped shape the IRA and get it across the finish line. Charles will discuss what residential building electrification is, why people should care, and what opportunities lie ahead. He will plan to dive more into the $9 billion Home Energy Rebates Program through the Inflation Reduction Act, a transformative investment opportunity to modernize the way we heat and cool our homes through electrification and efficiency measures, including heat pumps, heat pump water heaters, induction stoves, EVs, and rooftop solar. Charles will also dive into policies, programs, and practices that can support an equitable building electrification movement.

Electrify Everything Panel, 1:45 pm – 3:00 pm; Sponsor: Cobb EMC; Panel Flyer

Go beyond just generation in your business, gain insight on opportunities to vertically integrate end use services to address increasing consumer demand in electrification.
