Growing Infrastructure Investment Oglethorpe Power is investing over $2.3 billion in natural gas-fired power plants, expanding its generation capacity by 1,400 megawatts. This presents opportunities for suppliers of advanced power generation equipment, maintenance services, and infrastructure technology to support their new projects.
Expansion of Workforce and Operations The recent hiring of 30 new employees across operations, maintenance, and administration indicates ongoing operational growth. Companies providing staffing solutions, training, or enterprise software solutions could benefit from supporting this expanding workforce.
Focus on Renewable and Natural Gas Oglethorpe Power’s investments in natural gas technology and recent contract for combined-cycle plants suggest a strategic focus on cleaner fossil fuel energy sources. Opportunities exist for vendors in natural gas technology, environmental compliance, and renewable integration services.

Technology vendors specializing in enterprise data management, cloud solutions, and digital transformation could find prospects here.
