NEWS: Ratepayer relief is arriving across the country.

In NY, the new state budget includes $1B in utility rebates for 8M residents. The Empire State has some of the country’s highest household energy prices, which have shot up 58% since 2019. But Republican critics claim this one-time payment slaps a bandaid on a bigger issue.

In GA, the state PSC has approved Georgia Power’s plan to offer $285M in ratepayer savings—but this comes out to just $50/month for most residential customers. These savings come from fuel and storm cost recovery cases filed with the Georgia PSC. But some consumer advocates worry that the utility isn’t addressing data center-driven cost increases. 

And last month in CA, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced $1.4B in residential utility credits for this year, including $894M for electric customers.
