Local Outreach

Pecan is being developed with a focus on meeting the needs of the Georgia Power grid and the customers it serves. We are committed to working with the Mitchell County community and keeping its residents involved throughout the development process.

Community Benefits

The Pecan Energy Storage facility will be a good neighbor and a valuable asset to the surrounding community for decades to come. The project will provide necessary capacity to the region with no air polluting emissions. As a static facility with insignificant traffic and minimal municipal services, the Pecan facility will have little impact on neighbors. Significant project benefits to the community include:

• High-paying construction jobs

• Enhanced resiliency from a new, state-of-the-art power resource  

• Substantial tax benefits
