GEORGIA.
PLANT BOWEN AND
PLANT SCHERER UNIT 3.
This page sets out what Georgia Power's own documents say about two coal plants, and what a PSIP record holds on a Georgia pour.
The plants are upstream. The record is made at the pour.
Fly ash is a byproduct of burning coal for electricity, which means its regional availability tracks decisions made by utilities and regulators rather than by the concrete industry. Nothing on an order form has to change for the material in the truck to change. Concrete does not report its own chemistry. Without a record, a dispute years out is one party's memory against another's.
Plant Bowen. Plant Scherer Unit 3. In Southern Company's filing.
Both plants appear in Southern Company's annual report on Form 10-K, filed February 18, 2026. Plant Bowen's units are approved for natural gas co-firing, in which a unit burns natural gas at the same time as coal. PSIP does not predict what that does to the ash.
Plant Bowen.
Approved for co-firing.
Units 1 through 4, 3,160 MW, are approved for environmental controls and natural gas co-firing.
Plant Scherer
Unit 3.
Southern Company's annual report, filed February 18, 2026, lists extended operation of this unit, 614 MW based on 75 percent ownership.
What the ticket showed, on the record.
On a concrete pour, a PSIP record holds the specified mix design, the cement type, and the supplementary cementitious material by type, or that none is specified, as the contractor states them at setup, before placement. On a pool shell, it holds the batch tickets for each shoot day, the delivery method, wet shotcrete or dry gunite, and the nozzle operator by name, as the builder states it. Every batch ticket is photographed, and the photograph records what the ticket shows. Tickets vary, and many do not list everything in the load, so the contractor adds what he knows in the notes, as his own statement. PSIP records the work and certifies that it was recorded. The contractor is responsible for local building codes, permits and licensing. PSIP certification is not an inspection, a code approval or a warranty. No material supplier can pay for a say in PSIP, and PSIP does not recommend products.
