Alabama Senate Unanimously Passes Power to the People Act: Aiming to Cut Energy Costs

The Alabama Senate has passed the Power to the People Act, Senate Bill three sixty, in response to rising energy costs. The bill expands the Public Service Commission from three at-large members to seven elected by region, with a Secretary of Energy leading the commission. The changes aim to reduce energy bills by banning utilities from charging customers for lobbying, grant writing, and advertising expenses. The overhaul will be implemented in stages, with appointments starting as early as July 2026 and full elections by 2031. The state has allocated around two million dollars annually for the expansion.
