While you’re paying more every month, Georgia Po While you’re paying more every month, Georgia Power is posting record profits. A new report from Georgians for Affordable Energy and Georgia Conservation Voters reveals that Georgia Power made $92.56 of net operating income per customer — per month in 2024 — $13 more than the next most profitable utility in the U.S. and $30 more than the national average.

Meanwhile, the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) has rubber-stamped rate hikes again and again, even as 70% of your higher bill has nothing to do with base rates. Instead, it’s tied to  fuel prices and the out-of-control costs of Plant Vogtle — the most expensive power plant in human history. Brionté McCorkle, the Executive Director of Georgia Conservation Voters, summed up the developments "Voters know the score, though. They live it every month when that bill comes due. The PSC has voted to raise bills several times since 2023, and these increases had nothing to do with the base rates."

The Commissioners and Governor Kemp are trying to cover their tracks with backroom deals and misleading press conferences. Kemp held a 9 AM press conference at the State Capitol today with Commissioners Bubba McDonald and Jason Shaw. During this time, Kemp bragged about $500/year tax refunds. He did not mention that the bill increases approved by the men standing on either side of him cost Georgians $503/year, before this year’s 3.5% rate increase, making one of his signature policies no more than a passthrough for further state money to go to Southern Company’s Wall Street shareholders.

📣 It’s time to fight back.
✊ Join us at the People’s Power Union and help take back control from Georgia Power and their PSC enablers. We’re organizing, exposing the truth, and fighting for an energy system that puts people, not profits, first.
GCV is proud to endorse Dr. Alicia Johnson (Distri GCV is proud to endorse Dr. Alicia Johnson (District 2) and Daniel Blackman (District 3) for the Georgia Public Service Commission seats. 

These climate champions are ready to fight for clean energy, environmental justice, and lower utility bills for Georgia families. The PSC has the power to shape our energy future so let’s make sure that future is clean, affordable, and fair.

We get it. The state of the federal government is We get it. The state of the federal government is frustrating, and it’s easy to feel powerless. But here’s the truth: real change starts locally, and that’s where we come in.

At Georgia Conservation Voters (GCV), we are on the frontlines of organizing communities, holding elected officials accountable, and pushing for real environmental justice. This is how we fight back—by building power where it matters most.

If you’re angry, you’re not alone. And if you’re ready to turn that frustration into action, here’s some ways you can get involved at the link in bio:
