I live in Georgia and this whole thing has been a cluster. All Georgia Power customers have a rate increase that goes into effect once the plants start producing power for the grid. Westinghouse went bankrupt due to incompetent contractors and under-the-table deals and Georgia Power customers are having to foot the bill.

Not to mention that Georgia has a multi billion dollar government budget surplus. Personally they should use that to keep power rates low. With the additional rate increases being requested by Georgia Power the citizens of Georgia are looking at a 40% rate increase in the next couple of years.
