AVERAGE ELECTRIC RATES
GEORGIA vs. THE NATION
Customers of the Georgia Power Company pay an
imago of 1,97 cents per kilowatt hour. The national
wrage is 2.59 cents.
THE AVERAGE COST OF ELECTRIC SERVICE
TO CUSTOMERS OF THE GEORGIA POWER COM
MA IS 23.8 PER CENT LESS THAN THE NA
TIONAL AVERAGE.
This is all the more remarkable since it is generally
Jognized that, in the electric business just as in any
laer business, it costs less to serve a thickly settled
miion than it does to serve a thinly settled section

1 As a result of Tate reductions, easterners of the Georgia Power Company have saved since
1926 a total of $3,784,468 in the cost of. their electric service under what the same serv
ice would have cost them if the rate reductions had not been made.
2 Your residential electric rate is materially lower than the national average rate, lower than
the rate in New York City, lower than the rate in many other big cities.
3 Farm electric rates in Georgia are among the lowest in the nation.
4 Wholesale power rates in the South average lower than in any section of the nation ex
cept the-Pacific coast, and Georgia’s wholesale power rates are the lowest in .the South.
5 The average rate paid by all classes of customers of the Georgia Power Company is ma
terially lower than the national average.
In rates paid, in steady reductions of rates, in quality of service rendered, customers
of the Georgia Power Company are more favored thari the customers of almost any
electric utility—private or municipal—Mn the nation!

REDUCTIONS IN RATES
Since 1926, one reduction in your rates after
another has been made by the Georgia Public
Service Commission. All classes of our custom
ers have benefited by these reductions. In these
five years, ostr customers have saved or will
save before the end of 1930, a total of MORE
THAN THREE AND A HALF MILLION DOL
LARS under what they would have paid if the
rates had not been reduced. Out of this* three
and a half million dollar saving, over two mil
lion dollars will be saved during 1930 alone, so
that the total aggregate saving" will be even
greater next year.
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU BUY
WHICH HAS STEADILY DECREASED IN
PRICE THESE PAST FEW YEARS? Is there
anything else you buy which has decreased in
price in such a large ratio and at such a rapid
rate?
Electric rates of the Georgia Power Com-
„ a ny as a result of these reductions, are lower
than ever before, lower than in 1913, lower than
in 1900, lower than in 1895.
Residential electric rates were reduced ap-
r.rnvimately 20 per cent in one year. Our resi
dential customers paid $600,000 less'in 1929
than they would have paid for exactly the
same service under the rates existing in 1928.
* The Company is earning less than 5 per cent
return on its investment in electric service fa
cilities. A “fair r turn” according to the courts,
jg at least vj cent*
IN ADDITION TO LOWER RATES
These are some of the facts about your electric serv
ice which will convince you that your rates are among
the lowest in the nation, possibly the lowest when con
sideration* is given to the expense of supplying electric
service to a section which, comparatively speaking, is
thinly settled, with few big cities and few large in
dustries.
BUT RATES ARE NOT ALL!
Many other things enter into the worth and value
of a public utility—or any other business—to the com
munity it serves.
The Georgia Power Company is the largest developer
in Georgia. During 1930, it is spending $16,000,000 in
new construction work, the largest single amount ever
spent on new development by any one business enter
prise in any one year in the whole history of Georgia.
This huge sum is new wealth added to the wealth of
Georgia.
The Georgia Power Company during 1929 paid $8,-
719,053 in wages and salaries to its P ***
citizens of Georgia.
The Georgia Power Company dii

The Georgia Power Company is c

duce new industries to locate in Ge
