Background
Ownership
Alabama Power (a Southern Co. subsidiary) plans to purchase Tenaska’s Lindsay Hill power station for USD 622 million. Alabama Power has already filed for approval with the Alabama Public Service Commission and estimates the deal may increase residential bills by about USD 3.80/month. Alabama Power’s move to acquire the Lindsay Hill plant is aimed at closing a projected capacity gap and enhancing winter reliability. However, the deal is facing regulatory pushback over concerns about monopolistic control and possible cost impacts to customers. Both FERC and the PSC are now evaluating competition, cost, and environmental considerations. Environmental and public-interest groups (Energy Alabama, GASP, Public Citizen) have urged FERC to reject the deal, citing market power concerns and the lack of evidence that Alabama Power will not raise rates or cross-subsidize affiliated entities.[4]
