For example, in the Georgia natural gas market, almost 78 percent of the consumer inquiries and complaints received by the Georgia Public Service Commission last year (approximately 600 in all) have related to “billing” issues, including customer concerns regarding the accuracy of their bills. Billing errors pose problems for customers and utilities alike. However, in contrast to their customers, utilities simply do not benefit from the numerous consumer-friendly statutes and regulations in Georgia that specifically protect consumers. The consequences can be significant.</div> <div class="date"> February 4, 2014 </div> <div class="type">Advisories</div> </li> <li> <div class="titlegroup"> <div class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150315075516/http://www.alston.com/advisories/electric-service-rights/"> <i>Energy & Sustainability Advisory:</i> What Georgia Electric Suppliers and Economic Developers Should Know About Electric Service Rights to New Premises Locating in Wholly New Municipalities or Consolidated/Annexed Areas </a> </div> <div class="subtitle"></div> </div> <div class="abstract"><p>With 159 counties (second only to Texas for most in the country) and 536 municipalities, including seven consolidated governments, the trend in Georgia favoring decentralization and a tailored, local government is nothing new. Recently, though, it seems to be rising. In fact, in the last eight years, Georgia has witnessed the incorporation of seven new cities—Sandy Springs in 2005, Johns Creek and Milton in 2006, Chattahoochee Hills in 2007, Dunwoody in 2008, Peachtree Corners in 2011 and Brookhaven in 2012—all in the Atlanta metropolitan area, and, currently, the Georgia General Assembly is considering proposals to incorporate four more in Dekalb County by the end of 2014. </p> <p>Moreover, these developments are in addition to numerous other bills and resolutions seeking to consolidate existing governments and annex new territories. Yet, for most Georgians—at least those outside the specifically impacted areas—these changes will not impact their substantive legal rights. However, for Georgia electric suppliers that understand their rights under the Georgia Territorial Electric Service Act, O.C.G.A. §§ 46-3-1 to 46-3-15 (the “Territorial Act”), such changes can significantly increase or restrict the potential for load growth (particular for new large load premises). Additionally, state and local elected officials and economic developers should pay particular attention to annexations and certain consolidations as they can have the effect of limiting the potential to attract large, energy-cost-sensitive economic development opportunities as the competitive process (and resulting incentive electric service rates and terms) is greatly reduced or potentially eliminated in certain circumstances. </p></div> <div class="date"> September 18, 2013 </div> <div class="type">Advisories</div> </li> </ul> <div id="pubsListViewAllContent" class="viewmorelist collapsed"> <ul class="accordionlist"> <li> <div class="titlegroup"> <div class="title"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150315075516/http://www.alston.com/advisories/GPASI-updated/"> <i>Energy & Sustainability Advisory Update:</i> GPSC Approves Georgia Power Company’s 2013 GPASI Utility-Scale RFP Documents </a> </div> <div class="subtitle"></div> </div> <div class="abstract">This advisory discusses the Georgia Public Service Commission’s recent unanimous approval of the Georgia Power Company’s 2013 Request for Proposals (RFP) for Solar Photovoltaic Generation and the associated Pro Forma Georgia Power Advanced Solar Initiative Utility Scale Power Purchase Agreement.

Although FERC rejected all legal challenges to Order No. 1000 and left all of its primary directives in place, Order No. 1000-A clarifies a number of matters. Notably, FERC clarifies that federal rights of first refusal need not be eliminated for transmission upgrades whose costs are allocated entirely to the service territory or footprint of the constructing public utility. FERC also clarified the steps a transmission provider must take when arguing that FERC must first satisfy the burden of proof required by the Mobile-Sierra line of cases before eliminating a federal right of first refusal.
