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.

The Sierra Club, a national environmental organization, advocates for clean energy and policies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
