Electricity Map
Visualize Georgia’s electric power plants, wind installations and major solar installations through the Energy Information Administration.
Dashboards
Explore total energy, electricity, environmental, solar and storage trends through interactive charts and tables. View charts by category and timeframe. Filter tables by category and search term.
Original Analyses and Innovative Solutions
Southface links disparate data from multiple sources and presents it in one place. GeorgiaEnergyData.org provides the only comprehensive and detailed solar and storage dataset available for the state of Georgia.
GeorgiaEnergyData.org delivers unique maps, charts and tables allowing users to easily understand Georgia’s energy consumption, electricity generation, and solar and storage assets.
Nonprofit-University Partnership
Southface developed GeorgiaEnergyData.org in partnership with Georgia State University’s Geospatial Laboratory in 2012. In 2019, the website was relaunched with a several updates including the addition of storage data. The website is now solely managed by Southface.
Methods
Solar and Storage Data Sets
Southface compiles its databases of solar and storage installations from public sources, including:
- Georgia Environmental Finance Authority – Most installations between 2008 and 2012 were recorded at GEFA because the installations involved either a state tax credit or funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
- U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Energy for America Program
- Utility sources, solar installers, storage installers, and local nonprofits
- Industry publications, press releases, news articles, and installer websites
Given these disparate sources of information, Southface cannot ensure absolute completeness. However, based on feedback received, Southface's solar database contains the majority of solar installations in Georgia and fairly represents the rapid progress that the Georgia solar industry has made in recent years. The database only includes active installations that are currently providing power. New installations are added regularly.
Storage installations are a new addition to GeorgiaEnergyData.org as of early 2019. As such, the storage data set may be less complete. Our goal is to make it as reliable and comprehensive as the solar data set as soon as possible.
Southface works with utilities, installers, and building owners to ensure data integrity.
