In the days leading up to Christmas, many Georgia residents received an unwanted gift from the Georgia Public Service Commission in the form of an approved electric rate increase. Georgia Power residential customers will see a 2% increase in electric rates, effective January 1, 2014. There are additional increases scheduled for the beginning of 2015 and 2016. These rate increases represent a compromise between Georgia Power and the Georgia PSC, as Georgia Power originally asked for both a larger rate increase and a fee on property owners who install solar panels on their homes or businesses in 2014 and beyond.
