In his 2010 budget, Mayor Kant is proposing an electric rate increase for all customers--due to what he claims will be a 4.9% power cost increase on March 1st (by the AMEA).
Kant: "I put it in. . . the Council will have to decide if they want to 'eat it' (not pass it on to customers."
Also, after doing another "rate study" (and because of recent public pressure: "phone calls")--the Mayor is proposing doing away with the controversial/mysterious "fuel adjustment charge" altogether (now about an additional 20%); and replacing it with a new 2 part customer bill: (1) the actual cost for energy; (2) operational costs (set by the City Council).
Kant: "Alabama Power's already made the change."
