Georgia Power customers to see $21 reduction on June bills
Georgia Power today an
nounced that the typical
residential customer using
1,000-kilowatt hours will re
ceive an $11.29 credit on their
June Georgia Power bill. This
reflects implementation of a
one-time $51.5 million credit
for customers, approved by the
Georgia Public Service Com
mission (PSC), as a result of
Georgia Power’s 2018 financial
results.
Pairing the June credit with
new, lower fuel rates recently
announced, the typical resi
dential customer would see a
reduction of $21.55 in June.
The amount each customer
receives will vary based on
their 2018 usage. Georgia Pow
er will apply the credit to June
bills for customers who had
active accounts as of December
31,2018, and are still active or
receiving a final bill as of June
2020.
Fuel rate lowered 17.2
percent In addition to the
approved one-time credit
in June, the PSC recently
approved Georgia Power’s plan
to reduce its fuel rates by 17.2
percent and total billings by
approximately $740 million
over a two-year period. The
implementation of a special
interim reduction will provide
customers additional relief
during the COVID-19 pandem
ic through even lower fuel rates
over the upcoming 2020 sum
mer months. The lower fuel
rate and special interim reduc
tion will lower the total bill of
a typical residential customer
using an average of 1,000-kilo-
watt hours by a total of $10.26
per month from June through
September 2020.
The reduction in the compa
ny’s fuel rate is driven primar
ily by lower natural gas prices
as a result of increased natural
gas supplies, which the compa
ny is able to take advantage of
to benefit customers due to its
diverse generation sources.
February bill credit due
to tax law savings Georgia
Power completed earlier this
year the third and final bill
credit associated with the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, re
sulting in credits totaling $106
million. The typical residential
customer using an average
of 1,000 kilowatt-hours per
month received a credit of
approximately $22 on their
February Georgia Power bill.

Georgia Power delivers rates
