Alex on behalf of Shar Pourreza's questions to Southern Co (SO) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Speaking for Shar Pourreza, Alex asked about the tariff impact on Southern Power's growth opportunities and whether the supply chain environment aids contract renewals. He also inquired about the strategy for the upcoming Georgia rate case in an election year.
Answer
Chief Financial Officer Dan Tucker stated that Southern Power is well-positioned on existing projects and that its business model of securing contracts before building mitigates risk on future projects by allowing costs to be priced in. Chairman, President and CEO Chris Womack reiterated that it is too early to detail the Georgia rate case filing but affirmed that customer affordability is a primary focus and they will file as ordered in early July.
