Background
The Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) issued a Final Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permit for the modification of Units 1–4 to add dual-fuel capability and fuel oil storage at the facility in March 2024.[4] Oglethorpe Power is also planning to build a new combustion turbine unit at the Talbot Energy Facility. The new 241-MW unit (Unit 7) will be the most efficient gas peaking plant in the company's fleet. and will feature dual-fuel capability. The project will represent a capital investment of approximately USD 360 million in Talbot County. Pending successful permitting, Oglethorpe Power plans to break ground on the project in 2027.[5][6]
