‘My childhood home is being taken’: Eminent domain for data centers targets properties across a thousand miles of grid expansion in Georgia
A public utility company in Georgia is proposing a transmission project that can potentially displace hundreds of property owners as it looks to expand its energy capabilities to power new AI data center projects. Recommended Video Georgia Power is rolling out a grid expansion plan that includes building more than 1,000 miles of transmission lines—spanning over 330 parcels of land, including through residential property—and adding about 10 gigawatts of new generating capacity over the next five years. Building those lines, however, would mean levelling nearly 30 residential properties.
