#Georgia family says they're forced to sell home to help power #AIDatacenters: "It's theft"
By Shannon Luibrand
Updated on: July 13, 2026"Sell your home, or the state will take it — that's the ultimatum some homeowners in Georgia say they are facing amid the AI boom.
"Utility giant #GeorgiaPower is planning to build a new transmission line to in part help power new #datacenters. It estimates 70-80% of the power on the new line will help serve data centers and the remaining 20-30% of power will serve the state's growing residential and commercial demand.
"According to the company, increasing demand has outpaced the capacity of its existing grid and building a new transmission line requires acquiring more than 300 parcels of land, including residential properties.
"Ansley Brown's childhood home that she said was built when she was 5 or 6 years old is just one of the properties impacted.
" 'It's ours,' she told CBS News. 'It's our family. We belong here.'
"Her mother wanted the property to serve as 'true generational wealth,' Brown said, adding that now 'it's being stripped from us.'
"Brown's mother recently came to an agreement with Georgia Power to sell. If she didn't, Brown said the utility could have sought to acquire the property through #EminentDomain — which is a legal process that allows private property to be taken, with compensation, for projects determined to serve a public purpose.
" 'To us it's theft. It's literally a billion dollar company stealing land from smaller people, people who can't fight back. We don't have the money to fight Georgia Power,' Brown said.
"Holly Lovett, a spokesperson for Georgia Power, said eminent domain 'is always … a last resort for us and it's something we never want to do.'
"The company said it feels as if it's done the process responsibly, but Brown disagrees.
" 'You can't tear down 35 miles of rural Georgia and it not hurt something or somebody. And to say that you're doing it in the name of data centers is a slap in the face to us, our community, our animals,' she said.
"A few months ago Brown took her story to TikTok and began sharing stories of others in similar situations. She said that while she knows it's too late to save her home, she doesn't want to see this happen to others."

Hey, Georgia Natural Gas, your website has been down for a while. People use that to pay their bill, you know.
Don't laugh, Georgia Power. Your website may be up, but I haven't been able to use it to pay my bill in six months.
Sigh.

If you live in the US state of Georgia, early voting is underway for a very boring special election--but it's important that you vote, especially if you want to keep your power bills lower in the future. And your vote really counts.

After five years of aggressive legal maneuvering, Georgia Power has lost its battle to stop Nestlé Purina from choosing a different Georgia utility that could deliver better renewable energy options to its factory. In doing so, Georgia Power not only lost a major customer, it handed Walton EMC a victory that may open a new pathway for large companies seeking renewable energy options in Georgia.

Troubled #VogtleNuclear experiencing more troubles! Expansion will cost twice as much as planned -- $35 billion!
[Full article - was behind a paywall] #Georgia Power Plant #Vogtle #nuclear reactor back in service after valve issue shut it down
By Dave Williams
July 17, 2024 1:14 PM"A nuclear reactor at Plant Vogtle that operators shut down last week is back in service and sending power to the electric grid, Georgia Power officials reported Wednesday.
Unit 3 at the nuclear plant south of Augusta, which went into full commercial operation last summer, was taken offline July 8 because of a problem with a valve on one of its three main pumps."Despite the shutdown, Unit 3 has operated at full power more than 98% of the time since it went into service last July 31. By comparison, the average capacity factor for the U.S. nuclear fleet was 93% last year, according to Georgia Power officials.
"Unit 3 and its companion - Unit 4, which went into full commercial operation in April - are the first new nuclear reactors built in the United States since the late 1980s.
The project was delayed by seven years, plagued by a series of cost overruns that drove up the final price tag to about $35 billion, more than twice the original estimate of $14 billion."Opponents of the nuclear expansion at Plant Vogtle urged the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) in vain to cancel the project and instead step up the state’s commitment to expanding #renewable energy options.
The PSC voted last August to cap the costs #GeorgiaPower would be allowed to pass on to customers at nearly $7.6 billion, with shareholders picking up the rest."Georgia Power was a 45% partner in the Vogtle expansion, working with Oglethorpe Power, the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia (MEAG) and Dalton Utilities."

July 17, 2024 1:14 PM"A nuclear reactor at Plant Vogtle that operators shut down last week is back in service and sending power to the electric grid, Georgia Power officials reported Wednesday.
Unit 3 at the nuclear plant south of Augusta, which went into full commercial operation last summer, was taken offline July 8 because of a problem with a valve on one of its three main pumps."Despite the shutdown, Unit 3 has operated at full power more than 98% of the time since it went into service last July 31. By comparison, the average capacity factor for the U.S. nuclear fleet was 93% last year, according to Georgia Power officials.
"Unit 3 and its companion - Unit 4, which went into full commercial operation in April - are the first new nuclear reactors built in the United States since the late 1980s.
The project was delayed by seven years, plagued by a series of cost overruns that drove up the final price tag to about $35 billion, more than twice the original estimate of $14 billion."Opponents of the nuclear expansion at Plant Vogtle urged the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) in vain to cancel the project and instead step up the state’s commitment to expanding #renewable energy options.
The PSC voted last August to cap the costs #GeorgiaPower would be allowed to pass on to customers at nearly $7.6 billion, with shareholders picking up the rest."Georgia Power was a 45% partner in the Vogtle expansion, working with Oglethorpe Power, the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia (MEAG) and Dalton Utilities."
