Georgia Energy Review, 2005
To provide a strong basis of shared understanding in support of this planning effort, GEFA and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Environmental Protection Division developed the Georgia Energy Review, 2005, an overview of energy production, consumption, prices and markets in Georgia. We hope all interested parties will take time to review this overview of Georgia's energy past and present. GEFA and EPD owe a debt of gratitude to our partners who have reviewed this document and provided expert advice, including the Georgia Public Service Commission and a number of private and public sector partners. You can download the Georgia Energy Review, 2005 and other important support materials.
