 designed to have the capacity to store up to 150 MWs of electricity generated by other Alabama Power resources. Construction is expected to begin in the third quarter 2025, with estimated completion by 2027.

Southern Power's construction program includes the Millers Branch solar project and the Kay Wind, Grant Plains, Grant Wind, and Wake Wind repowering projects. The repowering projects result in accelerated depreciation related to the equipment being replaced that will continue until the commercial operation dates of the projects, which are projected to occur between the third quarter 2026 and the second quarter 2027. At June 30, 2025, the remaining pre-tax accelerated depreciation, net of noncontrolling interest impacts, is projected to total approximately $215 million in 2025, $320 million in 2026, and $25 million in 2027. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time.
