In another update, as per a recent filing with the Alabama Public Service Commission (PSC), Alabama Power pledged "rate stability through 2027," stating that it intends to maintain flat electricity rates for the next two years as families in the state struggle with some of the highest power bills in the nation, as per a report by ts2.tech.


The change, which was announced this week and detailed in documents dated November 21, would maintain key rate formulas and use storm reserves and tax credits to offset costs. However, regulatory approval is still pending, and there is no assurance that each customer's monthly bill will remain constant, as per a report by ts2.tech.
