Electric, gas and telephone utilities serve millions of customers in Georgia, but there are many customers who can't afford gas, electricity or basic phone service without the help of payment assistance programs. Many electric, gas, and telephone utility companies offer payment plans to their customers who qualify. They may allow deferred payment for those who cannot pay their whole bill or delay disconnection for customers trying to pay their bills. Many civic groups, charitable organizations, and churches in local communities provide payment assistance to low income customers. For more information, contact your gas, electric, or telephone service provider.
The spread of COVID-19 taught Georgia and the United States to use innovative ways of keeping our workforces and workplaces healthy. To assist in that effort the Georgia Public Service Commission utilized Alternative Electronic Filing Procedures. As the state and country move toward post-COVID life, the PSC will continue to utilize the procedures outlined below for the convenience of everyone who utilizes our services.

The mission of the Georgia Public Service Commission is to exercise its authority and influence to ensure that consumers receive safe, reliable and reasonably priced telecommunications, electric and natural gas services from financially viable and technically competent companies.
July 15, 2025 – (ATLANTA) The Georgia Public Service Commission on Tuesday unanimously approved an agreement with Georgia Power to produce at least 6,000 new megawatts of energy between 2029 and 2031. If Georgia Power shows the need, the PSC can allow an additional 2,500 MW of new energy for a total of 8,500 MW in that time period.
The agreement finalizes the 2025 Georgia Power Integrated Resource Plan, a long-range power production plan that is updated by the PSC every three years. Throughout the 2025 IRP hearings, Georgia Power and the PSC’s Public Interest Advocacy Staff disagreed over the amount of new energy large load customers were expected to consume over the next several years – although both sides did agree it would be significant.
In the end, the Commissioners approved an agreement that sets new production with a 6,000 MW minimum and 8,500 MW maximum, to be based on proven need. Georgia Power will continue to file quarterly Large Load Economic Development Reports and both parties will continue to review and update the methodology for estimating data center load growth.
“As data center construction continues in Georgia, this IRP puts us in a safe and secure spot to meet that energy need,” said PSC Chairman Jason Shaw. “This long-term plan continues to strike a balance between reliability and affordability.”
