2025 Georgia Power Integrated Resource Plan

Training Registration

Georgia Interfaith Power & Light and Southface invite you to join us for a six-part training and roundtable discussion in preparation for the 2025 Georgia Power Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), the utility’s 20-year energy resource plan. This multipart training and roundtable focuses on preparing newcomers and veterans alike for engaging in the 2025 IRP proceedings. Early sessions will include an introduction and overview of key topics. Later sessions will also include a deeper exploration of hot topics, like renewable energy and transmission planning. GIPL and Southface hope these trainings and topic roundtables can help broaden participation in the energy regulatory process while creating opportunities for collaboration and collective action.

This Integrated Resource Plan training series will consist of six sessions each from 12-2 p.m. September 2024 - February 2025 Lunch will be served from 11:30 a.m. – noon before each session. Each session will be hosted in person at Legacy Park in Decatur. We will also support virtual participation, though portions of some sessions may not be available online.
