continuation of the allowed equity ratio of 55%;
continuation of the inclusion in base rates of the recovery of and return on the infrastructure program investments previously authorized by the Georgia PSC; and
a reauthorization and continuation of the annual rate adjustment mechanism for 2020 and subsequent years.
Atlanta Gas Light expects the Georgia PSC to issue a final order in this matter on December 19, 2019. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot be determined at this time.
