Alabama Power plans to stop charging its customers for advertising costs after the state’s Public Service Commission (PSC) requested it, Alabama.com reports. The only exception will be for
ads related to public safety. A new state law mandates that the utility stop using customer money for ads by 2029. But the PSC seeks to speed up the process. “I don’t see any reason that we shouldn’t
take steps now to begin that process rather than waiting for Jan. 1, 2029,” said Cynthia Almond president of the PSC, in a meeting on Nov. 3.
