AI summaryThe company said Georgia Power and the Georgia PSC Public Interest Advocacy Staff reached a settlement agreement on May 19, 2025 that, if approved, would extend the 2022 ARP by 3 years through December 31, 2028. Base rates would not be adjusted in 2026, 2027 or 2028, except for reasonable and prudent storm damage costs incurred through December 31, 2025.
The company said the settlement would keep Georgia Power's retail return on common equity (ROE) set point at 10.50% and its equity ratio at 56%. It also said the retail ROE range of 9.50% to 11.90% approved in the 2022 ARP would continue.
The company said earnings above the upper limit of the retail ROE range would be subject to sharing, with 40% applied to regulatory assets, 40% refunded directly to customers and the remaining 20% retained by Georgia Power. It said no earnings shortfall below the lower end of the range would be recovered on an actual basis, but if Georgia Power projects retail earnings below that lower end, it may petition for an Interim Cost Recovery tariff.
The company said the settlement must be approved by the Georgia PSC and its final terms may differ. The Georgia PSC is scheduled to vote by July 1, 2025, and if the settlement is not approved, Georgia Power must file its next base rate case by July 1, 2025.
