What is the Georgia Public Service Commission?

The Georgia Public Service Commission is five elected officials who are tasked with ensuring that consumers receive safe, reliable, and reasonably priced electric, natural gas, and telecommunications services. Some of their recent actions have been:

• Voting to increase how much you pay for energy every month and adding new, hidden charges to your bill
• Allowing Georgia Power to charge you for cleaning up their toxic coal ash waste
• Charging us BILLIONS of dollars for an unnecessary nuclear plant
• Giving Georgia Power the “Ok” to shut off power for people behind on their bills during COVID
