Under construction MW not reported Palmetto

Microsoft has been building a roughly 250,000 square foot data center in Palmetto as part of its East US 3 Azure region, with construction starting in April 2024 and an estimated completion around October 2025. The Development Authority of Fulton County granted Microsoft about 14.5 million dollars in property tax breaks for the project, but on August 10, 2026 Microsoft confirmed it is unwinding that tax abatement deal here and at two other metro Atlanta sites, citing reputational cost.

Microsoft is developing a three building, roughly 1.8 million square foot data center campus known as ATL11 on 136 acres along Stonewall Tell Road north of South Fulton Parkway in Union City, part of a 1.8 billion dollar East US 3 Azure region investment. The Development Authority of Fulton County approved about 75 million dollars in property tax savings over 10 years, and the project's filing targeted a 2026 construction start.

Power bills in Fulton County

Most of the county is served by Georgia Power, with parts on Sawnee EMC or GreyStone Power or Cobb EMC or Coweta-Fayette EMC or College Park municipal (city owned) or East Point municipal (city owned) or Fairburn municipal (city owned) or Palmetto municipal (city owned). Several small south Fulton cities run their own municipal electric departments, Georgia Power is clearly dominant for Atlanta itself and most of the county.

Base rate freeze through 2028 (docket 44280) holds base rates flat from July 2025. Fuel and storm riders are separate and can still move. 2026 fuel and storm cost settlement (docket 44280, 56765) takes about $4.04 a month off a typical bill from June 2026. The December 2025 certification of about 9,885 MW of new generation for data center load came with a promise of at least $8.50 a month of downward pressure on a typical bill in 2029 through 2031, because large customers are meant to carry more of the cost. Consumer groups warned it could instead add around $20 a month if the projected data center demand does not show up.

Georgia Power and the Georgia PSC Public Interest Advocacy Staff reached a stipulated agreement extending the alternate rate plan first approved in the 2022 rate case, keeping Georgia Power base electricity rates flat through at least 2028. The Georgia Public Service Commission approved the stipulation by vote on July 1, 2025, with a formal order issued July 31, 2025. The freeze applies only to base rates and does not limit separate fuel cost recovery or storm cost recovery charges, both of which can still change a residential bill during the freeze period. Georgia Power has said growth in large load customers such as data centers helped make the freeze possible by spreading fixed costs across a larger customer base.
