What does Georgia Power cost at a normal month’s usage?

A household using 1,000 kWh a month pays about $1,897 a year on the cheapest of the 3 plans we can price here — SCHEDULE TOU-REO-18 TIME OF USE RESIDENTIAL ENERGY ONLY — and $2,173 on the priciest. Same house, same wires.

The same plan is cheapest at every level of use here, so the answer does not turn on how much you use. Estimates from the filed tariff, priced hour by hour on a household with central air — not a quote.

How much does the plan you pick actually matter here?

Run the same three-bedroom house with central air through every plan Georgia Power Co files, and the bill lands anywhere between $1,495 and $1,747 a year. That $252 spread is not a difference in electricity — it is the same kilowatt-hours, from the same wires, priced under different rules. Nobody sends you a letter when you are on the wrong side of it.

The plan most households land on by default, SCHEDULE R-30 RESIDENTIAL SERVICE, comes to about $1,578. The cheapest option here, SCHEDULE TOU-REO-18 TIME OF USE RESIDENTIAL ENERGY ONLY, comes to $1,495 — a gap of about $83 a year for a household that never changed a single habit. Whether you can actually capture that depends on when you use power, which is what the calculator below is for.

2 of these 3 plans price by the hour. Those are the ones where moving laundry, dishes, or car charging into the cheap window changes the bill; on the rest, the clock is irrelevant and only the total matters. Which camp you belong in is the first question worth settling, because it decides whether shifting your day is worth anything at all.

Watch the fixed charges too. Across these plans they run from $6 to $168 a year before a single kilowatt-hour is counted. For a small household that difference alone can outweigh the per-kWh price, which is why comparing cents per kilowatt-hour on its own quietly misleads.

How Georgia Power compares across Georgia

Run the same three-bedroom house with central air through its default plan at each of the 6 Georgia utilities we cover, and Georgia Power is the dearest of the lot at about $1,578 a year; the state median is $1,344. The cheapest, Sawnee Electric Membership, charges $1,039 for identical use — a gap set by the address, not by anything either household did.

The other two households tell the same story in different sizes: a small apartment pays about $841 here against a state median of $821, and the same house with an electric car charging overnight about $2,168 against $1,734. Effective rate, fixed charge included, is 16.7¢ per kilowatt-hour for the family home.

Inside Georgia Power itself, the gap between its cheapest and dearest plan for that house is $252 a year — less than the $539 between Georgia's cheapest and dearest utilities. Here the address decides most of the bill; the plan decides the rest.

Which plan would cost you least?

No bill upload, no sign-up. Tell us roughly what a month costs you and what runs on electricity — we price every plan against the same household and show you the gap.

Start from a household like yours

Then correct anything below that doesn’t match.

A typical monthly bill

$a month

A bill that size works out to about 865 kWh a month on SCHEDULE R-30 RESIDENTIAL SERVICE. If your bill shows a different number of kWh, switch to and use theirs — it is the more accurate of the two.

What else runs on electricity

Electric carcharged at home

Electric water heaterincluding heat pump

Central air conditioningsummer only

Electric heatheat pump or resistance

That adds up to 10,532 kWh a year. Compare it to the total on your bill and adjust until it’s close.

back row — kWh usedfront row — $ cost

A weekday in June on SCHEDULE TOU-RD-11 RESIDENTIAL DEMAND SERVICE — the back row is how much you use each hour, the front row is what that hour costs. Both are colored by the price at that hour. $2.95 a day, and 6pm alone accounts for $0.47 of it — the same power at 12am would cost $0.12. Rows are scaled separately; kWh and dollars are not the same units.

Same usage, different plan

$908a year

That is the gap between the cheapest plan you could be on — SCHEDULE TOU-RD-11 RESIDENTIAL DEMAND SERVICE — and the priciest. Not by using less power. By being billed differently for the same power.

SCHEDULE TOU-REO-18 TIME OF USE RESIDENTIAL ENERGY ONLYPeak hits 2pm–7pm on weekdays, all year.	$1,561	+$658

An estimate, not a quote. Supply charges move month to month, and your real usage pattern is not exactly this one. What it does show reliably is the gap between plans — both are priced off the same assumptions.
