On Thursday, May 28, the Georgia Public Service Commission will vote on a proposed stipulated agreement resolving Georgia Power’s Storm Damage Recovery and Fuel Cost Recovery dockets — a decision that could impact electricity bills for consumers across Georgia.

In comments submitted to the Commission, Georgia Watch urged regulators to prioritize affordability and reduce the financial burden placed on residential customers, who have already experienced multiple rate increases in recent years.

“At a time of rising costs, stagnant wages, and deepening financial insecurity, the Commission should exercise its authority to modify the Stipulated Agreement and approve an order that more fairly balances the needs of ratepayers with the interests of Georgia Power’s shareholders.”
