There Is a Newer Version
of
the Georgia Code
2006 Georgia Code - 46-3-2
46-3-2. The public interest requires, and it is declared
to be the policy of the State of Georgia, that, in order (1) to
assure the most efficient, economical, and orderly rendering of
retail electric service within the state, (2) to inhibit
duplication of the lines of electric suppliers, (3) to foster the
extension and location of electric supplier lines in the manner
most compatible with the preservation and enhancement of the
state´s physical environment, and (4) to protect and conserve
lines lawfully constructed by electric suppliers, it is necessary
and appropriate that the state establish and implement a plan
whereby every geographic area within the state shall be either
assigned to an electric supplier or declared unassigned as to any
electric supplier; that, to accomplish such a plan, it is necessary
that all electric suppliers within the state be subject to this
part; that the commission be delegated power, authority, and
jurisdiction with respect to such plan; and that all electric
membership corporations and all municipalities which furnish retail
electric service be additionally subject to regulation by the
commission in the same manner as provided for regulation of
electric light and power companies, except as to the fixing of
their rates, charges, and service rules and regulations, it being
determined by the General Assembly that such electric membership
corporations and municipalities, which by their corporate nature
are wholly or substantially controlled by their consumers, should
for regulatory purposes be classified differently in certain
respects from electric light and power companies.
