Local commercial reality
The commercial picture in Conyers
A Conyers commercial project has to settle the provider before anything else, because Rockdale is split between Snapping Shoals EMC and Georgia Power and their export terms are not close. Georgia Power caps commercial projects on its renewable programme at 250 kW AC with an interconnection fee; a cooperative sets its own ceiling and its own credit.
The building stock along the I-20 corridor is largely modern warehouse and light industrial, which is straightforward to design for and usually constrained by the electrical service. On a Snapping Shoals meter, where the export credit is reported well below retail, a building that consumes its own production is a materially better prospect than one that exports, so we read interval data rather than assuming a profile.
