This is a formal announcement from Georgia utility regulator Tricia Pridemore, announcing that she will not run for reelection
the agreement, filed with regulators and the SEC before the market opened this morning lets Georgia Power still build out the 10,000MW and do so mostly with natural gas and supplemented with solar and batteries.
The change, however, is what will happen to customer rates and bills #GaPol #GaPsc
DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES TONIGHT: • Abigail Spanberger (Governor of Virginia) • Mikie Sherrill (Governor of New Jersey) • Zohran Mamdani (Mayor of New York City) • Aftab Pureval (Mayor of Cincinnati) • Ghazala Hashmi (Lieutenant Governor of Virginia) • Jay Jones (Attorney General of Virginia) • 60-seat+ majority in Virginia House of Delegates • Alicia Johnson (Public Service Commissioner of Georgia) • Peter Hubbard (Public Service Commissioner of Georgia) • Pennsylvania Supreme Court THIS IS A CLEAR SIGN THAT A BLUE WAVE IS COMING IN THE 2026 MIDTERMS, SO ANY REPUBLICANS WHO ARE NOW ENABLING TRUMP BETTER START PACKING THEIR BAGS NOW!
The people are hungry for change. In the words of Zohran, “hope is alive.” #ThePeopleWin #DemocracyWins #Zohran #GAPSC
A black and white drawing of a lavish ball above, with people in their best attire dining and dancing. Below the floor is a group of people in drab garments on their knees. They appear to be holding up the floor. One person punches through the floor with their fist, and a party goer looks puzzled at the fist coming through the floor of the party above.
The people are rising up, America. Zohran, Prop 50, Spanberger, and Georgia's 2 PSC wins, the GREAT results just keep coming in.
Well done voters! #DemocracyWins #GOTV #ThePeopleWin #Zohran #GAPSC
Despite what we were hearing anecdotally and the info we were getting from GOP insiders, I said, "I'll believe it when I see it."
Well, I saw it
Our first take on the #GaPSC seats flipping:

there are many layers to this year's #GaPSC election, as we've reported in the @ajc.com
For many Georgians, this race is about their power bills.

And who said covering #GaPSC elections would be boring …
From my @ajc.com colleague, @bluestein.bsky.social :
and before anyone points it out, yes, you gotta scroll down a bit (but read the other newsletter bites while you're at it)

some #Georgia GOPers used Patty Durand's alleged theft of trade secret docs at the #GaPSC as an opening to gain an edge in the current election for 2 seats with the powerful utility regulator @bluestein.bsky.social and my Politically Georgia colleagues added context here: www.ajc.com/politics/202...
public comment over ... the formal hearing is starting
These hearings focus on Georgia Power's request to fill a 10,000MW need mostly with gas and with a mix of solar and storage.
There will be subsequent hearings where the PSC staff and others will be testifying/answering questions.
#GaPol #GaPSC
while it's been a while since I've sat at these #GaPSC hearings, it's not uncommon to see high school students and students from Emory and other universities speak during the public comment period ...
... that beings said these students are tearing into the commissioners today in ways I haven't seen
I will tie that back to one of the sticking points of today: environmental and consumer advocates are concerned about the amount of gas-fired power plants that Georgia Power wants to build, as fossil fuels directly contribute to climate change ... which has led to extreme weather like Helene
#GaPSC
oddly enough ... some of the comments have focused on Georgia Power's work post-Hurricane Helene.
The #GaPSC approved a three-year freeze of basic electricity rates ... that action does not include items such as fuel and storm cost recovery.
comments are ranging from a woman who said she has to choose between daycare and paying her monthly electricity bill, and she noted that she is paid a 'living' wage ...
... to a number of elected and appointed officials and business people praising the electric company
#GaPol #GaPSC #EnergySky
it's going to take a while to get to the hearing ... more than 50 people have signed up to speak.
Have been told the chairperson wants everyone to speak, no matter how long that timeline takes. Each one gets 3 minutes

Duh! Tell me something my wallet doesn’t know! More egregiously R #PSC who let them impose fees 4 corrupting their business , violating #EnvironebtalLaws get fined & R allowed 2 pass fines on 2 consumers. #GAPSC, #GaPower #WhoRTheCriminals
Its amazing these Corrupt officials walk around free.
The Georgia PSC votes Tuesday on an agreement with Georgia Power that some watchdog groups say gets a deal struck two years ago meant to protect seniors and push for energy savings. Is this a case of bait-and-switch? Here’s the background. #gapsc
