“It's outrageous that Georgia Power has conspired with Georgia Public Service Commission staff to institute a multi-decade, massive rate increase for all Georgia Power customers and then say that they are helping lower energy costs”
“Solar and storage are not only the most cost-effective, but they're also ones that can be deployed usually quicker than the fossil gas generation”
“Georgia is No. 1 in the private sector for EV and battery manufacturing investments and jobs, making Georgia number one in having the most to lose if the financial incentive rug gets pulled out from under the state”
“The message we want Congress to hear going into the major policy discussions they have before them this year is that the clean energy policies from the last several years are delivering for our communities in the Southeast in a big, big way, whether it's to the big job-creating manufacturing companies, clean energy producers, rural power customers, homeowners, or kids who get to breathe in cleaner air”

“That might have been excusable for the initial allocation but it's dereliction-of-duty that Georgia Power didn't perform the cost-of-service study two years later. And by letting them get away with it, the PSC is as guilty as they are.”
“Does the fact that some parties have agreed to stipulate a certain amount as prudent and reasonable relieve the commission itself from the responsibility to independently determine that value”
“Clearly getting the reactor up to 100% power is the milestone, but the milestone came at what cost? This has been a very tumultuous and difficult process for ratepayers.”
Georgia regulators heard testimony on a Georgia Power fuel rate case that could increase average household bills by $16 monthly over three years. Jeremy Kalin, testifying for the Sierra Club of Georgia and Southern Alliance for…

Georgia Power seeks to recover $2.6 billion in unbudgeted fuel expenses through a rate increase that could add $17–$23 to customers' monthly bills starting in June 2023. The Sierra Club and Southern Alliance for Clean Energy…
