Georgia Power 2023 Community Charging Plan

[Dirtman16]

GP released their community charging plan for 2023, which included eleven sites for fast chargers. See below for a link to the documents. Since specific addresses are not provided, I will hold off on adding planned sites at this time. However, these are locations to be looking out for in the near future. Credit to @lordsutch on Twitter for the info. These appear to be along federal or state highways where NEVI funding is not available.

It appears there have been some changes to the 2023 plan. Georgia Power ultimately proposed 11 sites; 9 were approved by the GPSC, as the "right of first refusal" process was exercised to block proposed stations in Griffin (Silver Comet Energy) and Blackshear (Friendly Express, Inc.). Georgia Power has decided to defer the replacement of those sites with other locations to the 2024 and 2025 cycles. Document Detail

The nine remaining sites are as follows; most but not all seem to have also been posted as Coming Soon on PlugShare by someone else:

DONALSONVILLE​	39845​	US 84 & S Tennille Ave​
CUTHBERT​	39840​	Blakely Street & Central Street​
RICHLAND​	31825​	US 280 & Broad Street​
GEORGETOWN​	39854​	US 82 & Main Street​
SUMMERVILLE​	30747​	E Washington & US 27​
AMERICUS​	31719​	US 19 & Adderton Street​
MCRAE-HELENA​	31055​	US 341 & Hwy 280​
HAWKINSVILLE​	31036​	US 341 & Houston Street​
HOMERVILLE​	31634​	Peach Street & US 84​

It wasn't too far out of the way so I drove by the Hawkinsville location today. It looks like the metering equipment is installed and some flags are in the ground for trench work, but that was it as far as visible construction goes. The location is in the parking lot behind the new City Hall building facing US 341, across from Hawkinsville Veterans Park. I posted a photo of the metering equipment on PlugShare. https://www.plugshare.com/location/573296

Georgia Power has posted the 2024 Community Charging Plan to the GaPSC docket here: Document Detail. The proposed sites are as follows:

Dawson	39842	Rountree Dr SW & U.S. Hwy 82 (Graves Station Rd SW)
Toccoa	30577	Broad St & Currahee
Jesup*	31545	US 84 & US 341
Cedartown	30125	East Ave & Main St
Chatsworth*	30705	Hwy 52 & Hwy 411
Warm Springs	31816	Spring St & Whitehouse Pkwy
Folkston	31537	2nd St & Main St

Swainsboro	30401	Main St & Main St
Alma	31510	Pierce St & 16th St
Lakeland	31635	Main St & Valdosta Rd

Two of the proposed sites were objected to (marked with asterisks above): one site in Jesup (Document Detail) within a 15 mile radius of a proposed charger from another company, and one site in Chatsworth (Document Detail) since it is within 1 mile of a proposed alternative fuel corridor.
