Georgia PSC Probes Recovery of Data Center Fuel Costs

Georgia's Public Service Commission has initiated an investigation into whether data centers and large industrial customers are paying their full share of fuel costs, or whether expenses are being shifted to residential and commercial ratepayers. If you're negotiating a data centre power deal in Georgia or other regulated states, regulators are now actively questioning whether your fuel cost recovery passes cost-to-residential-customers. Your competitive advantage—cheap power through special tariffs—is under audit, and the PSC may force Georgia Power to reallocate costs, raising your effective rate or killing the deal economics.
