Real, sourced large-load tariff and interconnection research on file for Georgia — never inferred, never scraped, never implied beyond what's actually been checked.
Large-load tariffs
Tennessee Valley Authority (data center rate / Capacity Commitment Charge)
ThresholdNew or expanding loads above 5 MW
StatusNew standard data center rate effective Oct 1, 2026, approved at the Aug 20, 2026 TVA Board meeting. A Capacity Commitment Charge (CCC) applies to new or expanding loads above 5 MW as part of each data center B, C, and D rate schedule, to recover incremental capacity costs. All-in average billing impact to data center customers is expected to be about 10%, phased in over three consecutive fiscal years. A Power Interruption Provision sets terms for a data center that wants to come online before its generation capacity is available. In-flight data centers must meet specific criteria to qualify for transitional provisions (criteria not detailed in this deck). Separately, the Board updated its policy for new power requirements above 100 MW. The CCC's exact dollar amount or formula was not found in this deck.

Georgia Power, Rules and Regulations revisions for new customers of 100 MW or more
Threshold100 MW or more of new load
StatusGeorgia PSC Docket 44280: the Commission approved Georgia Power's revisions to its Rules and Regulations (vote Jan 23, 2025; Staff modifications adopted). The revisions allow minimum billing requirements and longer contract terms for new customers of 100 MW or more. The order does not state the percentages or years: those are set in each contract. Conditions: Georgia Power must use this discretion so existing customers bear none of the cost of adding these customers, must give Staff its terms and criteria before using them, must file every new contract with its exhibits within 30 days of signing, and must make a compliance tariff filing. The Commission can modify the rules. Georgia Power filed a Large Load Contract under the order on July 27, 2026 (reported, not read). Separate program: Docket 44847 (Customer Identified Resource) lets large customers fund their own clean resources (EEI summary, not read).
