Georgia Power disputes Sierra Club report on fossil fuel plans

A recent report from the Sierra Club gave Georgia Power an F grade for the fourth consecutive year, citing the utility's continued reliance on fossil fuels and limited planned expansion of renewable energy. The claims are disputed by the state's largest power generator, which says the report fails to acknowledge the utility's efforts to keep down costs for ratepayers while remaining a reliable source for electricity. According to the environmental group's 2026 Dirty Truth Report , Georgia Power scored poorly due to continued use of nonrenewable energy. The report evaluates utilities nationwide based on their plans to retire coal-fired power plants, add renewable energy, and avoid building new natural gas generation. More: How Augusta residents can lower energy bills as cooler weather arrives The report analyzed 76 utilities nationwide, which collectively scored 7 out of 100. Sierra Club said that was the lowest overall score since the report was first published in January 2021 and eight points lower than last year. The Sierra Club, a national environmental organization, advocates for clean energy and policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Under the report's methodology, utilities earn points by committing to retire coal plants by 2030 and add clean energy resources
