Driver: $1.68 Billion Georgia Power Rate Hike Approved by State Regulators, to Address Coal Ash Clean Up

This increase allows Georgia Power to charge customers an extra $4 monthly by 2022, with an initial $2 hike beginning 2021. The utility has estimated its plan to excavate 19 of its 29 coal ash ponds and leave the remaining 10 capped and in place. It could cost up to $2 billion.

Driver: Clean Water Final Rule: Definition of WOTUS and Recodification of Pre-Existing Rules

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of the Army have formally repealed the 2015 Clean Water Rule, which amended portions of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and restored the regulatory text defining “waters of the United States” (WOTUS) that existed before 2015. The changes are effective since December 23, 2019.
