Georgia Utility Rate Assistance

• In 1987 the PSC mandated that major gas and electric utilities waive their monthly service charge for customers age 65 or over, who own their homes, and earn less than $10,000 per year (the income limit was raised to $12,000 in 2001). The gas service charge is $10.50 per month; the electric is $14.00.
