Kemp keeps Georgia’s EV push alive amid data-center boom

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is pressing ahead with making Georgia a hub for electric-vehicle manufacturing while expanding the electric grid to power a wave of AI data centers, arguing EVs should be about customer choice and opposing a statewide moratorium on data centers even as projects like Hyundai’s battery plant and OpenAI’s Savannah data center raise concerns about rates and resource use; with six months left in office, he highlights ongoing investments and a plan to ensure ratepayers aren’t footing the bill for new capacity.
