Georgia's biggest energy decisions are technical, consequential, and rarely simple — they decide what families pay, how reliable the grid stays, and how ready Georgia is for the decades ahead. Competence Matters exists to push a single standard: the people evaluating those decisions need real technical competence to judge every deal on its merits.
Georgia's energy future is being shaped right now — through rate cases, new power plants, and major grid investment. Those decisions deserve real technical competence, not politics.
When leaders weigh a major energy decision — a new power plant, a rate case — the public wants to know it was judged on its merits, by people with the competence to get it right.
Affordable energy bills should be the state's top energy priority. Competence means keeping that priority front and center in every decision.
A power outage in a heat wave or a supply hiccup in a cold snap isn't just inconvenient — it's dangerous. Real technical review, not a rubber stamp, is what keeps Georgia's systems dependable for the long run.
What it takes to get complex energy decisions right.
Georgians want the state to keep a diverse mix of natural gas, nuclear, solar, hydropower, and battery storage as demand grows — not a bet on any single source.
Georgia's utilities have to keep working through a summer heat wave or a winter cold snap. Getting that right takes real engineering and financial review, not a rubber stamp.
Big new projects and rising demand are good for Georgia — as long as the costs they create don't get spread across everyone else's bill.
