Abstract: The article focuses on the rising electricity costs in Georgia and the implications for residents and political dynamics surrounding the Public Service Commission (PSC), the state's utility regulator. Activists from SOWEGA Rising are mobilizing communities to engage with the PSC elections, emphasizing the impact of high electricity bills that often exceed rent for many residents. As electricity prices continue to rise, driven by increased demand from data centers and other factors, candidates like Peter Hubbard are advocating for changes in utility regulation to protect consumers. The article highlights the growing public awareness and potential political ramifications of these issues, as voters prepare to influence the PSC's direction in upcoming elections.
