In this mention
Georgia Power's 2026 Fuel Cost Recovery (FCR-27) proposal could result in a $1.32 monthly decrease for ratepayers, but critics including researchers from the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy argue this masks rising fuel costs and Georgia Power's requests for increased gas hedging insurance and higher emergency-filing thresholds. Advocates call for fuel cost sharing, increased bill transparency, and a shift toward renewables to reduce customer exposure to volatile fossil fuel prices.
