JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - State regulators are scheduled to decide
this week whether to grant Mississippi Power Co.'s request for a
9.2 percent fuel adjustment increase.
The 9.2 percent requests is for residential customers. It is
higher for business and industrial users.
Company spokeswoman Cindy Webb says the increase is not the
utility's largest annual fuel adjustment. That was 10 percent in
2006. In 2008 Mississippi Power customers paid a 4 percent
fuel-adjustment increase, and Webb says there were decreases in
2002 and 2003.
"It depends on the fuel markets," she said.
Regulators say the dollar-for-dollar "pass-through," in a
regulated market such as Mississippi's, allows the utility to pass
on the cost of doing business to the customer.

Yep, no power means no TV or radio.  Which equates to Obamas version of the Fairness Doctrine

where have you been? obama intends to make it go up,so we will go to green power. have you not been seeing what been said. he just put a cap on carbon fuels so this can happen.

In the depressed economy we are in right now with many losing jobs, this is not a bright thing for the power company to do.
