Alabama Power says it has a plan to keep customers’ electric bills from costing more for the next two years.

In a filing last week, Alabama Power’s Chief Financial Officer Moses Feagin told regulators the company wants to hold several major rate factors steady through 2027, avoiding adjustments that could increase costs for families in 2026 and 2027.

Feagin wrote that the proposal would ‘provide customers with a measure of rate stability’ in part by leaning on internal cost containment.

Under the proposal, Alabama Power would keep several adjustable add-on charges on customer bills at today’s levels through 2027, including the compliance-related Rate CNP Part C and the interim fuel-cost (ECR) factor.

It would also delay the Lindsay Hill-related plant cost adjustment until January 2028 and keep another CNP factor in place through 2028.

“Alabama Power made an informational filing with the Alabama Public Service Commission as part of our ongoing discussions about ways to help customers manage their power bills,” the company said in a statement to Yellowhammer News.

“We know budgets are tight, and power bills are a real concern for many families and businesses. The filing outlines commitments aimed at providing more certainty and predictability around electric rates at a time when many other costs are rising.”

“We look forward to continuing our dialogue with the Commission on an issue that matters deeply to customers across Alabama. We remain committed to our customers and the communities we live in and serve,” Alabama Power said.

Even under the proposal, how much electricity an Alabamian uses still matters. Cold winters, hot summers, and not relying on wise use practices, will typically lead to higher energy bills.

According to last week’s filing, severe storms, major natural disasters, fuel-market shocks, or other significant unforeseen events could force the company and regulators to revisit what’s “reasonable and appropriate.”

But Alabama Power’s latest filing, assuming the PSC signs off on it, will lead to fewer surprises on customers’ energy bills for the next two years.
