Georgia Power Ordered to Cut Rates by $118 Million

LCG, Dec. 21, 2001--The Georgia Public Service Commission said yesterday it has ordered Georgia power Co., a subsidiary of The Southern Co., to reduce its rates by $118 million per year for the next three years.

Georgia Power had earlier asked the commission for permission to raise its rates by $103 million a year for five years.

The commission said its decision is based on its own revenue forecast for the utility coupled with a return on equity of 12.50 percent. If Georgia power earns anywhere between 10 percent and 12.95 percent on equity, it may not ask for a new rate case, the regulators said.

If the company earns more than 12.95 percent on equity, it must share the extra with its customers -- two-thirds for ratepayers, one-third for the utility.

Georgia Power had sought to make the allowable return range from 11 percent to 13.50 percent.
