How Georgia Power’s plans work

R-31 (Residential Service). In July the first 650 kWh a month cost 13.8¢ each; then 20.5¢ above 650 kWh a month, then 21.0¢ above 1,000 kWh a month. An average Georgia home (1,478 kWh in July) goes past the first tier, so extra load such as an EV is priced higher. Fixed charge: $16.00 a month.

TOU-OA-15 (Overnight Advantage). Mid-peak 7 am–2 pm, Peak 2 pm–7 pm, Mid-peak 7 pm–11 pm on July weekdays; 5 of 24 hours carry the top price of 39.9¢. The cheapest July weekday hour costs 6.0¢, so moving 1 kWh out of the top hours saves 33.9¢. January weekdays range from 6.0¢ to 15.7¢. Summer pricing applies Jun–Sep; winter pricing Oct–May. Weekends follow a different schedule from weekdays. Fixed charge: $16.00 a month.

Prices on this page are all-in per kWh, before taxes: base rates, supply and every per-kWh rider in the utility’s current tariff sheets. Your bill shows them as separate lines, and riders can change between tariff revisions.

As a cross-check, Georgia Power billed its residential customers an average of 15.49¢ per kWh in 2024 (revenue ÷ sales, EIA-861). A plan taken from URDB is shown only if its all-in price is consistent with that figure, adjusted for Georgia’s price change since.
