About Alabama Power
Alabama Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company, serves approximately 1.5 million customers across most of Alabama. Bills include a fuel cost recovery charge that fluctuates based on the cost of fuel used to generate electricity. Alabama's hot, humid summers drive high air conditioning loads, making summer demand charges a common source of bill shock.
Common Alabama Power billing issues
- Fuel cost recovery charge spiking after natural gas price events without customer notice
- Demand charge applied to residential accounts during peak summer cooling months
- Rate schedule change after home renovation or HVAC upgrade without customer notification
- Budget billing plan settlement creating large unexpected balance at plan year
- Outdoor lighting charge continuing after equipment confirmed removed
- Power cost recovery rider changing rate between billing cycles
