SB 34 will be voted on in the Senate Regulated Industries and Utilities Committee today! SB 34 would prevent electric utilities from shifting the costs created by very large electricity users—including data centers and large industrial or commercial facilities with peak demand of 100 megawatts or more—onto everyday customers. Under the bill, costs related to fuel, power generation, and transmission needed to serve these large users would be paid primarily by those customers themselves, rather than residential customers. The goal is to protect residential customers and small businesses from higher electricity bills caused by the rapid growth of large-load facilities, such as data centers.

A substitute motion to SB 34 is circulating among members of the committee that will give Georgia Power and the PSC the option to pass along the cost of powering data centers to customers.

Call or email members of the Senate Regulated Industries and Utilities Committee today and tell them to:

Vote Yes on SB 34 — the best bill for Georgians.
