How electricity prices work in Georgia
- Your address decides your utility. The tariff of that utility gives the price of each kWh and the monthly charges.
- Tiers. Georgia Power charges a different price for the kWh above a limit, so a month with more kWh has a different average price.
- Time of use. Plans on this site with prices that change with the hour: Georgia Power TOU-OA-15. Where a utility has more than one plan, its plan comparison page shows which plan costs less at each usage.
- Not in the calculations. Sales tax, city fees and discount programs are not in the tables on this page. The calculator of each utility shows them where the tariff gives them.
