Southern’s Georgia Power reaches agreement to cut customer rates and secure new capacity
SO
New Projects/Investments
- Georgia Power reached a stipulated agreement with the Georgia PSC’s Public Interest Advocacy Staff, with the PSC scheduled to vote this month, to deliver estimated savings of $102 per year for a typical residential customer using 1,000 kWh/month.
- Under the deal, when Georgia Power files its next base rate case in 2028, $556 million in incremental large-load revenue is expected to put downward pressure on rates by at least $8.50 per month.
- If approved, the company can procure approximately 9,900 MW of new resources—including 3,600 MW of combined-cycle gas, over 3,000 MW of battery storage, 350 MW of BESS + solar, and 2,800 MW of power purchase agreements—to meet rising demand.
- The agreement leverages large-load growth to sustain the current three-year base rate freeze (excluding storm costs), protecting residential and small business customers from higher fixed costs.
