Des candidats en lice pour les sièges de la commission des services publics de Géorgie

Dix candidats se disputent deux sièges au sein de la Georgia Public Service Commission lors d'une élection primaire prévue le 19 mai. La commission régule les services publics et fixe les tarifs de l'énergie qui ont un impact direct sur les factures des clients. Le vote par anticipation est déjà en cours dans tout l'État.

La commission détient l'autorité finale sur la manière dont Georgia Power produit de l'électricité et sur ce qu'elle facture aux clients. Ce pouvoir s'étend aux décisions majeures concernant l'infrastructure des centres de données et le mix énergétique global de l'État. L'élection de l'année dernière a évincé deux titulaires républicains et a permis à des démocrates de siéger au panel pour la première fois en 20 ans, augmentant les enjeux pour le contrôle de la majorité lors de ce cycle.
