Good morning

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

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

In upset, Democrats win in PSC races that could affect Georgia Power bills Democrats Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard won statewide elections, defeating Republican incumbents, for seats on the Georgia Public Service Commission.

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

How two obscure races became a referendum on Georgia Power bills Georgia Power customers have seen bills rise. Now they get to vote for two members on the state regulatory commission for the first time since 2020.

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.

Rosalynn Carter recast the White House’s East Wing. Now it’s being razed. Carter was the first to establish an office for the first lady in the East Wing. President Donald Trump is demolishing it to build a ballroom.

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.

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

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

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

Advocates 'shocked' by Georgia Power deal they say breaks earlier promise - The Current Georgia Power and the Georgia Public Service Commission have reached a deal to keep coal plants open longer, improve the power grid, and launch a new pilot program for rooftop solar with battery stora...

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
