Called the Reid Gardner Battery Energy Storage System, the backup power plant is rated at 220 megawatts and 440 megawatt hours of power generated from excess solar and wind energy, per Electrek.

On average, adding 3 MW of wind energy to the U.S. electric grid would reduce the emissions from fossil power plants by 1,200 pounds of CO2 per hour. Adding this amount of wind would at most require anywhere from 0 to 0.01 MW of additional spinning reserves, and 0 to 0.07 MW of non-spinning reserves.

About 80% of Georgia''s electricity generation comes from hydro resources (80.5% in 2021), with the remainder produced from natural gas and from a 20.7‑megawatt (MW) wind power plant (83.4 GWh in 2020). The residential sector has the largest share of final energy consumption (1.41 Mtoe in 2020), followed closely by transport (1.34 Mtoe in 2020).
