Georgia Power and the state Public Service Commission’s (PSC) Public Interest Advocacy Staff have reached an agreement resulting in a slight reduction in the utility’s request to recover $2.1 billion in higher fuel costs from customers.
If the commission approves the agreement next month, Georgia Power would trim $7 million off the recovery request.
Still, the average customer who uses 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month would see an increase of at least $17 on their monthly bills.
The PSC will hold hearings on the proposed agreement early next month and vote on the plan May 16.
