As the demand for electric vehicles continues to rise, businesses and property owners are under pressure to provide reliable and accessible charging. While the prospect of building new infrastructure can seem costly and complex, programs like Georgia Power’s Make Ready are changing the game.
At SWTCH, we believe these incentive programs are a vital first step. That’s why we’re excited to highlight the Georgia Power Make Ready program, which provides the critical foundation for your EV charging infrastructure and is offering up to $300K per project. By pairing this valuable utility incentive with SWTCH’s end-to-end charging solutions, you can deploy a scalable, reliable, and profitable EV charging amenity with minimal hassle.
What is the Georgia Power Make Ready Program?
Georgia Power’s Make Ready program is designed to reduce the upfront costs associated with installing the electrical infrastructure needed for EV chargers. This isn’t just a simple rebate; Georgia Power provides significant funding and manages the entire design and construction process for the necessary wiring and panels that lead up to your chargers.
This partnership takes the guesswork out of the most complicated and expensive part of the installation process, offering up to $300,000 in funding per qualifying project.
Eligibility Requirements for The Program:
This program is open to a wide range of Georgia Power business customers who are looking to install publicly accessible EV chargers. This includes:
- Commercial and industrial customers
- Multifamily developments
- Universities and schools
- Hospitals
- Municipalities
To qualify, your project must include the installation of at least six charging ports or at least one DC fast charger. The key is that the chargers must be public-facing, serving the public and accessible to anyone who needs a charge.
