Byron
A landowner filed a rezoning request from agricultural to industrial for about 500 acres straddling the Peach and Crawford county line near Byron, with a company called Beltline Energy in talks to build a data center. The property has become the subject of a jurisdictional dispute between the City of Byron and Crawford County, now headed to arbitration, and Byron has a moratorium on new data centers in effect through September 15, 2026. No developer or building plans have been made public, and neither government has officially confirmed details.

Power bills in Peach County
Most of the county is served by Flint Energies, with parts on Fort Valley municipal (city owned) or Georgia Power. As a cooperative, its wholesale power comes mostly from Oglethorpe Power.
Oglethorpe Power, which generates most of the electricity Georgia's EMCs sell, is adding natural gas plants it ties to data center and industrial load. EMC rates are set by each cooperative's board, not the Public Service Commission, so watch your EMC's rate notices.
Oglethorpe Power is the wholesale generation and transmission cooperative owned by Georgia's 38 electric membership cooperatives, and it is not directly rate regulated by the Georgia Public Service Commission the way Georgia Power is, so there is no PSC docket number for its generation projects. Oglethorpe Power has announced plans to build new natural gas generation to meet rising load from its EMC members, including a large combined cycle gas plant near its existing Smarr Energy Facility in Monroe County targeted for around 2029, plus a smaller gas addition at the Talbot Energy Facility targeted for 2028. Reported cost estimates for the Monroe County plant vary across sources, from around 2 billion dollars to as much as 3.3 billion dollars, so the exact figure is unclear. No specific verified dollar impact on individual electric membership cooperative household bills has been published yet, since those retail rates are set separately by each member cooperative.
