Georgia
Georgia depends heavily on fossil fuels, particularly coal, to meet its energy needs and is also home to two large nuclear power plants. Renewable energy sources are a growing popularity in the state. The first major wind plant in the southeast U.S is planned for a site off the coast of Savannah, while huge investments have been made for the use of renewable biomass, providing a sizeable portion of the state’s electricity generation. |

A portion of the funds from the State Energy Program are allocated by formula among the states. To apply for a grant from the remaining funds, each Governor is required to write a letter to the Secretary of Energy explaining that the state will pursue policies to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy as outlined in Section 410 page 32 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
