In this episode of Circuit Cast, Fredie Carmichael, VP of Corporate Affairs, sits down with three senior leaders — Molly Aeck, SVP of Business Development & Strategy; Erica McGill, SVP of Business Strategy & Transactions; and Aaron Mitchell, SVP of Strategic Growth — to unpack Georgia Power’s strategy for serving large energy users like data centers. These customers are driving economic development and innovation across the state — but they’re also raising questions from everyday customers. Are they making bills go up? Are they paying their fair share? What in the heck is a hyperscaler?
Fredie and the guests tackle these questions head-on, explaining how new rules from the Georgia Public Service Commission ensure that large load customers pay upfront for infrastructure, commit to long-term contracts, and provide financial guarantees — all without shifting costs to families or small businesses. The episode explores how Georgia Power is planning smarter, building stronger, and keeping base rates frozen for the next three years — all while powering the digital world and supporting job creation. This is an exciting time in our company’s history, and these three leaders are at the forefront of this chapter.
