On May 28, the Georgia PSC approved a deal on fuel costs and storm recovery that will lower most customers’ bills starting June 1.

The savings: about $4 per month, or $50 per year, for a typical residential customer. The settlement also cuts Georgia Power’s storm cost recovery by nearly 60% and places new limits on natural gas hedging. That is a step in the right direction. But the deal leaves open a significant question: data centers and large industrial customers may not be paying for all the costs they create. The PSC’s own staff found they drive up fuel costs for everyone else by 5 to 11% per month. The commission opened a new investigation into that question. We’re watching it. We broke it down in plain language - because your power bill deserves a clear explanation. Read the explainer. [LINK IN BIO] #GeorgiaPSC #EnergyBills #UtilityBills #ConsumerProtection GeorgiaEnergy
