Georgia Consumer Protection

Consumer protection remains a top priority for SEIA across the country. During the 2023 and 2024 legislative sessions, a distributed generation focused consumer protection bill, HB 73, advanced to the Senate Regulated Industries and Utilities Committee but ultimately did not pass.

Following the bill’s failure, SEIA has continued working with both regulatory and legislative stakeholders to identify alternative pathways to strengthen consumer protections and support responsible distributed generation growth in Georgia
