Kandidater tävlar om platser i Georgias public service commission

Tio kandidater tävlar om två platser i Georgia Public Service Commission i ett primärval som är planerat till den 19 maj. Kommissionen reglerar allmännyttiga tjänster och fastställer energipriser som direkt påverkar kundernas räkningar. Förtidsröstningen har redan påbörjats i delstaten.

Kommissionen innehar den slutgiltiga makten över hur Georgia Power producerar elektricitet och vad de debiterar sina kunder. Denna makt sträcker sig till stora beslut om infrastruktur för datacenter och delstatens övergripande energimix. Förra årets val innebar att två sittande republikaner röstades bort och demokrater fick plats i panelen för första gången på 20 år, vilket höjer insatserna för majoritetskontroll under denna valcykel.
