- Gov. Brian Kemp said the freeze will benefit customers and enhance Georgia's appeal to businesses, stating, "This is good news," while critics warn some rate hikes may still occur.
- The PSC will hold public hearings starting June 26, with a final vote scheduled for July 1, and approval is required for the agreement to take effect.
