Information on Data Centers
Georgia residents concerned about the recent growth of data centers and what that could mean for their electricity bills should take note of the leadership the Georgia Public Service Commissioners passed in Docket #44280, Documents #222325 and #221165 in 2024 and 2025. These rules as passed by the PSC Commissioners ensure that residents, small businesses, and other electricity customers will see NO increases on their power bills due to data centers. Also note, in July 2025, the PSC Commissioners instituted a Georgia Power rate freeze through the end of 2028. The Georgia Public Service Commission will continue to enact measures to protect Georgia Power electricity customers from data center related costs.
For more information on the PSC and data centers, please see our Data Center Fact Sheet.
This information will be updated periodically.

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.
Alternative eFile
The spread of COVID-19 taught Georgia and the United States to use innovative ways of keeping our workforces and workplaces healthy. To assist in that effort the Georgia Public Service Commission utilized Alternative Electronic Filing Procedures. As the state and country move toward post-COVID life, the PSC will continue to utilize the procedures outlined below for the convenience of everyone who utilizes our services.

Commissioners Prevent Utility Cutoffs/Late Fees for Unpaid TSA Agents in Georgia
April 13, 2026 – (ATLANTA) – A final order was filed Tuesday to ensure TSA agents who are living in Georgia will not have their utility service cut off for nonpayment and will not pay late fees for missed utility bills until the partial government shutdown ends.
Commissioner Tricia Pridemore made the motion regarding Georgia TSA’s utility service at the Public Service Commission’s administrative session on April 7. Her motion was approved unanimously.
According to the order (attached) TSA agents must verify their employment with the TSA. Their past-due balances must be paid within 30 days after the shutdown ends and TSA agents’ back pay is restored. Although many agents received a paycheck Friday, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has cautioned TSA agents that future pay remains in limbo as the partial government shutdown continues.
“Georgia is home to the world’s busiest airport and many regional airports where TSA agents work to keep us safe,” Pridemore said. “During the partial shutdown, many TSA agents are taking up second jobs driving Ubers and utilizing other gig-economy jobs just to make rent or mortgages and to put food on the table. I’m hoping this order will give them one less thing to worry about.”
