Georgia Power Company is requesting $470 million for its fuel cost recovery which if approved would result in an increase of approximately 6.8% to the total monthly bill. GPC cites the increase in the cost of coal as the primary reason behind the request. The PSC is expected to reach a decision on March 11^th and any new rates would go into effect on April 1^st.

Due to the drop in coal and natural gas prices along with an increase in hydroelectric production, Alabama Power Company has reduced its rates by approximately 2.1%. The rate reduction follows a 13.35% increase last October and will remain in effect until October 2010.

The second incremental increase in water and sewer rates takes effect in July with a 12.5% increase.  This is the second in a series of increases passed by the Atlanta City Council in 2008 to pay for it's $4 billion water and sewer improvements.  The years 2010 and 2011 will have similar increases.

In order to pay for a $400 million, 10 year project to expand the capacity of pipelines in metro Atlanta and liquefied natural gas storage facilities, AGL has proposed a $.95 increase per month in it's residential surcharge and $2.95 per month in it's small business surcharge.  If approved by the PSC, the increase would start in October.
