The same account ties the project to a Georgia Environmental Protection Division air permit issued in January and to roughly 1,500 megawatts of new gas-fired capacity plus about 500 megawatts of battery storage. Bowen already hosts on the order of 3,500 megawatts of coal-fired capability, the Recorder noted.</p>
