flag Georgia voters choose Public Service Commission members amid rising electricity costs and grid expansion debates.

flag Georgia voters are deciding two key Public Service Commission races amid concerns over rising electricity costs, with Republican incumbents Tim Echols and Fitz Johnson facing Democratic challengers Peter Hubbard and Alicia Johnson. flag The outcome could shape future utility rates and energy policy, as consumers face repeated bill increases and a proposed $34 billion grid expansion. flag Despite low early turnout—about 9% of registered voters—both parties are intensifying efforts, with Republicans warning of Democratic energy policies and Democrats highlighting past rate hikes. flag Contributions from utility workers and related firms have favored Republicans, raising conflict-of-interest concerns. flag The commission’s decisions impact power rates, infrastructure, and affordability across the state.
