Some 22,000 businesses in Alabama who are customers of Alabama Power Company could see a reduction in their electricity bills because of a change in the rates for LPS power recently mandated by the Alabama Public Service Commission.
The PSC voted to broaden the definition of the LPS rate, which stands for “light and power, small.” Effective January 1, 2010, thousands more small businesses will qualify for the LPS rate.
Small business managers are advised to call Alabama Power’s customer center at 1-888-430-5787 to ask whether they will qualify for the LPS rate.
Rate changes normally happen automatically, but PSC officials said this type of rate change requires customers to make sure they are on the correct rate. Moving to the LPS could save businesses at least $25 a month, the PSC said.
More information is also available from the PSC by calling (334) 242-5191.
