Statewide

Georgia exempts qualifying high-technology data center hardware and equipment from state and local sales and use tax under O.C.G.A. § 48-8-3(68.1); the exemption runs through Dec. 31, 2031. (Alston & Bird, Feb. 19, 2026; Inside Climate News, April 9, 2026) Gov. Brian Kemp vetoed HB 1192 (2024), which would have suspended new data center exemption certificates. He cited the 2022 extension of the break through 2031. (Capitol Beat News Service, May 7, 2024) In the 2026 session, bills to end or suspend the exemption (SB 408, SB 410, SB 436, HB 559) and a construction pause (HB 1012) all failed; no data center bill passed. (Alston & Bird, Feb. 19, 2026; Inside Climate News, April 9, 2026) The PSC adopted a Georgia Power large-load rule on Jan. 23, 2025 (from Docket 55378). New customers over 100 MW face contracts of up to 15 years with minimum bills, pay for upstream generation and grid costs, and have their contracts reviewed by the PSC. (Georgia Public Service Commission, Jan. 23, 2025) On Dec. 19, 2025, the PSC voted 5-0 to certify 9,885 MW of new Georgia Power resources for expected data center load. Georgia Power backstops the costs for 2029-2031 so existing customers are shielded if the load does not appear. (Georgia Public Service Commission, Dec. 19, 2025) Georgia data centers →
