Your power bill
Data centers change bills through the utility's own rate cases and large load tariffs, not a separate charge you would see by name. Pending electric rate cases in Alabama, in dollars a month, is our sister site's full tracker for this state.
Alabama Power RSE rate freeze Alabama Power
The Alabama Public Service Commission approved a consent order on December 8, 2025 freezing several cost factors that normally move Alabama Power's rates automatically, including fuel costs, purchased power costs, government mandate cost recovery, and the Rate Stabilization and Equalization (RSE) formula that adjusts rates based on the company's earnings. The freeze runs for two years and was extended to also block any automatic RSE increase in 2027. The order does not lower current rates, it only pauses further automatic increases under these mechanisms, and it came alongside PSC discussion of rising data center demand in the state, including a large Meta facility near Montgomery.
