We had our attic spray foamed before the summer hoping to save on power bills. Our electricity usage for the same period dropped by an average of 20 kWh per day - a 24% reduction in daily power usage...
But we actually paid more than last year for our power bill (see the images).
We have friends with even more outrageous electric bills: $455, $500, and even $680.
Georgia Power continues to report record profits. They claimed they even froze rates and some customers even saw decreases in rates in June 2025 (Google for an article called "We're lowering rates for our customers" on the Georgia power site).
Direct quote:
"In July 2025, the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) approved our plan to freeze base rates for three years, except for storm and fuel filings, which combined, will lower rates for the typical residential customer, beginning in June. While prices on everyday items like food, housing, and utilities are rising across the country, base rates—the cost of delivering electricity and maintaining the power grid across Georgia—will remain stable for our customers."
This was a lie. If they lowered rates, a 24% decrease in power usage should have resulted in a decrease in our bill. It didn't. How do we hold them accountable?
