Dive Summary:

• Georgia Power plans to increase the solar it distributes tenfold over the next few years. That will power 35,490 homes by the end of 2015.
• But the move is not enough to satisfy a band of consumer and environmental advocates, business officials and nonprofit leaders working together to demand even more solar power in the grid.
• “Solar energy is in the future,” said State Rep. Rusty Kidd, an independent from Milledgeville. “Georgia Power has said for years that they are going to study it, they are going to study it, they are going to study it. Sometimes you can study something to death.”
