Who sets Georgia Power's rates
Georgia Power is investor-owned, so it can change its base rates only by filing a rate case with the Georgia Public Service Commission. The commission holds hearings and takes public comment before it rules, and it usually approves less than the company asks for. Fuel and other pass-through charges can change between rate cases.
Commission contact: Georgia Public Service Commission. How we calculate every figure on this page: methodology.
