Georgia regulators voted to investigate whether data centres using Georgia Power's Real Time Pricing rate are avoiding approximately $1 billion in fuel costs, shifting the burden to residential and small business customers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cloud Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

If you're building data centres in Georgia, your electricity cost structure just became a political target and a cost liability. Regulators are investigating whether you've been underpaying fuel surcharges; the outcome could reset your unit economics or force you to negotiate a new rate contract before the investigation closes.
