In Twiggs County

Pine Ridge Technology Park Eagle Rock Partners LLC
Approved 900 MW Jeffersonville

Twiggs County commissioners voted unanimously on September 18, 2025 to rezone about 291 acres near the Ocmulgee River at 7015 Adams Park Road from agricultural to commercial for a hyperscale data center campus that developer Eagle Rock Partners says could draw up to 900 megawatts of power, as much as the cities of Macon and Augusta combined. News reports have described the investment as anywhere from about 2 billion to 5 billion dollars depending on the source. Construction cannot start until at least 2028 because Georgia Transmission Corporation needs years to build out the power infrastructure, and residents have filed lawsuits alleging the county ignored its own zoning and notice rules, with litigation ongoing as of early 2026.

Power bills in Twiggs County

Most of the county is served by Flint Energies, with parts on Oconee EMC or Tri-County EMC 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.
