ATLANTA — Georgia Power and Google are looking to partner on a proposal to upgrade Georgia’s two nuclear power plants and increase their capacity to produce energy.

If approved by the Georgia Public Service Commission, Google would pay a subscription fee to help fund upgrades at Plant Vogtle and Plant Hatch.

Georgia Power spokesman Jacob Hawkins said the proposal would support Google’s data center objectives, but the agreement is not tied to any specific data center project in Georgia.

“They’re going to pay us a subscription fee to help upgrade those power plants, which then we’ll provide the electricity to the grid. It’s really a win-win for Google and for Georgia Power customers across the state,” Hawkins said.

Some groups have raised concerns about environmental risks and potential additional costs for individual ratepayers associated with such agreements.

Hawkins said the proposal would instead provide $900 million in long-term benefits to Georgia Power’s 2.8 million customers.

“What they’re essentially doing is helping us make these upgrades to our power plant and providing $900 million in long-term benefits for all of our customers,” Hawkins said.

The proposal still requires approval from the Georgia Public Service Commission.
