Utility Assistance Programs

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.

PSC’s Public Interest Advocacy Staff and Georgia Power Reach Agreement on Vogtle Prudency Review

August 30, 2023 – (ATLANTA) – The Public Service Commission’s Public Interest Advocacy (PIA) Staff and Georgia Power have reached an agreement where – if adopted by the PSC Commissioners – all issues of Plant Vogtle prudency review would be resolved.

The proposed stipulation would cap the recovery from ratepayers of all capital construction costs for Units 3 and 4 at Plant Vogtle at $7.562 billion. This is a significant reduction from the $10.188 billion Georgia Power has said it expects to have spent by the time Vogtle Units 3 and 4 come into commercial operation. If adopted by the Commissioners, Georgia Power ratepayers would save $2.626 billion.

Prudency intervenors that signed the proposed stipulation include Georgia Watch, Georgia Interfaith Power and Light, Partnership for Southern Equity, and the Georgia Association of Manufacturers.
