Votes won’t count for Democrat Daniel Blackman in the June 17 primary election for Georgia Public Service Commission.

ATLANTA – The shadow of two nuclear reactors that Georgia Power Co. is building near Waynesboro hangs over two statewide elections for the Georgia Public Service Commission. Electric customers statewide and even in Jacksonville will help pay for Plant Vogtle, as Georgia Power has contracts to provide power from the plant around the Southeast. In District 1, Republican Jason Shaw is seeking a full six-year term after the former state lawmaker was appointed by Gov. Wilson said it’s unfair for Georgia Power to buy excess solar cheaply from rooftop generation and then sell it to other customers at higher expense. “I will give Georgia Power credit for offering a repayment plan,” Blackman said.
