Candidatos compiten por escaños en la Comisión de Servicio Público de Georgia

Diez candidatos compiten por dos escaños en la Comisión de Servicio Público de Georgia en una elección primaria programada para el 19 de mayo. La comisión regula los servicios públicos y establece las tarifas de energía que impactan directamente en las facturas de los clientes. La votación anticipada ya está en curso en todo el estado.

La comisión tiene la autoridad final sobre cómo Georgia Power genera electricidad y lo que cobra a los clientes. Este poder se extiende a decisiones importantes sobre la infraestructura para centros de datos y la combinación energética general del estado. La elección del año pasado destituyó a dos titulares republicanos y colocó a demócratas en el panel por primera vez en 20 años, lo que aumenta lo que está en juego para el control mayoritario en este ciclo.
