About that "rate freeze"... 🤔
Alabama Power's profits climbed to $437 million this quarter, a 14.7% increase from the same quarter last year.

We can and should cut more than $30.
But, we should still cut the $30! $30/month can help people!
Why would anyone defend customers paying for Alabama Power’s advertising?
If @AlabamaPower critics like @EnergyAlabama got everything they want, avg residential bill MIGHT drop $30/mo. Most from proposed profit/rate cuts ($25). Other items (efficiency, financing, ads) add little. Advocacy estimates, not guarantees. #Alabama #EnergyBills #PSC #AlabamaPower

1/ For years, Alabama Power could bill customers for half its advertising. Today the PSC asked it to stop now, not in 2029. Real credit to President Cynthia Almond and the Commission.
Your move, Alabama Power. Advertise if you want. Just don’t bill customers for it.
2/ Under the new state law, starting in 2029 the only ads Alabama Power can charge customers for are public safety ads the Commission approves. Think “call 811 before you dig.”
No slapping a “safety” label on a feel-good campaign and sending customers the bill.

Alabama Power’s fuel rate makes up almost a third of your bill, and the public still has no say in how it’s set.
Today the Alabama Supreme Court ruled against our appeal to change that. But we’re not deterred. 💪

Yet, Alabama Power taxes you for going solar.
Alabama Power thinks your property is actually their property.

MYTH: A rate hearing means a mandatory rate hike.
FACT: Alabama’s first one in 40+ years cut Spire’s allowed profits instead. ⚖️

Clean energy that pays off. ☀️
Plainview High in Rainsville just went solar, and it’s expected to cut the school’s electricity costs by about 46%.

Credit where it’s due.
On Tuesday, the Alabama PSC modernized its filing rules, and it took seriously our request to make public comments easier. It’ll revisit once its new software is in place.
We look forward to regular Alabamians having an easier way to be heard.
Birmingham and Huntsville are 100 miles apart. Same state. Same summers.
For the same amount of electricity: Huntsville pays ~$147/month. Birmingham pays ~$207.
That’s 41% more based on which utility serves you. 👀

Today, the Alabama PSC ruled that Alabama Power's hyperscale data center contracts don't need a Commission vote. If the PSC doesn't act in 90 days, they're automatically approved.

Did you know you have to create an account, and get PSC approval, before you're even allowed to comment on your own utility rates?
Energy Alabama just filed comments asking the PSC to fix that. FL & NC already make it easy for anyone to speak up. Alabama should too. #alpolitics
2/2) 104-0. Every Republican & Democrat voted to make Alabama Power justify its rates.
Then, over Spring Break, Senate leaders gutted the real reforms and passed a watered-down bill instead. But, commissioners are still elected, and...

Alabamians forced the first real conversation about Alabama Power's profits in a generation.
This led to the PSC cutting a utility's profit and denying a rate hike anyway — proof that when the public is in the room, Alabama Power loses. #alpolitics

(1/2) A bill would've let appointees replace your vote for Alabama Power's regulators. Audio of their own lobbyist proved Alabama Power wanted it.
Alabamians flooded Montgomery — two weeks later, the bill was dead.
Alabama Power wasn't finished. #alpolitics
