Description
Summary:	•The recent paradigm shift in U.S. climate policy underscores the need for expedited energy system analysis and forecasting.•We develop an innovative approach that enables timely updates by deploying a combination of modeling and expert consultations.•The original estimate of achievable emission reductions in Georgia from 49 to 57 % in 2030 relative to 2005, far exceeding the Paris Agreement.•Significant pollution reduction from utility-scale solar, electric vehicles, and energy-efficient cars is now baselined.•Nature-based and behavioral solutions have fallen short, but their technical potentials remain robust.
