It is not the Public Service Commission’s scope to say that a data center is allowed here or there.

| Gentry Rate hearing Alabama families are working hard, but many are feeling squeezed by rising utility costs. The people deserve the opportunity to be heard in a full, open, and transparent rate hearing. That’s how accountability works. When I’m elected as the next PSC Commissioner, I will call for a public rate hearing as the first order of business.

| Gentry Elected commission I do not support efforts to remove Public Service Commissioners from being elected by the people. The PSC belongs to the citizens of Alabama, not political insiders.

But that would be my goal, to get us some relief. Original: alabamareflector.com/2026/10/16/in-public-service-commission-race-reorganization-bill-looms-over-candidates (accessed Oct 21, 2026) |
