Georgia Power needs to be shut down. If only there were another power company that I could get service from I would cancel my account with these people immediately. They apparently can't make enough energy for all of Savannah so in order to get people to try and conserve their energy in the summer and winter months, they more than TRIPLE their rates. This is ridiculous and they flat out admit that they know what they're doing is wrong and they don't care. I'm a broke college student living in an apartment that only has one tiny bedroom, a hallway that doubles as my kitchen and a living room and there have been many months where my bill has been over $400. And I have friends with similar sized apartments and their bills have been over $600. There was one month when my bill was $450 and I called them and they told me to put my thermostat at their recommended temperature, which I did.I tried not to leave ANYTHING plugged in over night, and I limited what I plugged in during the day and left my thermostat at their recommended temperature and my bill WENT UP the next month even though my actual energy usage went down. When I called the following month, they refused to even help me deal with this issue.
This company needs to be shut down and a nicer, less greedy replacement built in its place.
