Chile's Economy and Energy Biminister Álvaro García announced that Transelec has agreed to refund US$ 135 million overcharged in electricity bills starting in January. This deal adds to the US$ 115 million that generators must return due to calculation errors dating back to 2017. The crisis, which led to Energy Minister Diego Pardow's resignation, highlights failures in government management and the electricity sector.

Georgia Power, the state's largest utility, has approved a new program allowing companies to propose and fund their own clean energy projects. The Customer-Identified Resource program received bipartisan support from public service commissioners on April 7 and is set to launch this summer. Supporters see it as a way to meet rising energy demands with renewables rather than natural gas.
In a surprising upset, Georgia voters elected Democrats Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard to the state's Public Service Commission, unseating Republican incumbents with nearly 63 percent of the vote. The wins, driven by frustration over rising power bills, mark the first Democratic victories on the commission in nearly two decades. While Republicans retain a 3-2 majority, the results signal potential shifts in utility policy and future elections.
