Steve Rentfrow, who also sits on the MEAG Board, says new legislation on coal burning plants could increase rates for customers
The general manager of the Crisp County Power Commission spoke to Dougherty County Rotarians today about the future of power itself.
Steve Rentfrow, who also sits on the MEAG Board, says new legislation on coal burning plants could increase rates for customers.
“Would generate somewhere between 8 billion and 3 trillion dollars every year. It’s obviously going to change the way we do business if they add those amounts of costs on to our process. Basically pay the tax, tax is gonna get passed on to the customer,” said Rentfrow.
Rentfrow says southwest Georgia won't be hit as hard as the rest of the state, which relies on 70% of its electricity from burning coal.
