Kemp puts PSC member on bench, opens utility regulator spot July 20, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia's five-member regulatory body will have a vacancy after Gov. Brian Kemp named longtime commissioner Chuck Eaton to fill a superior court vacancy in Fulton County. Eaton, who was first elected to the Public Service Commission in 2008, has been serving a third stint as the body's chairman. The commission regulates private, for-profit utilities including Georgia Power Co. and Atlanta Gas Light Co., meaning its decisions affect the pocketbooks of millions of Georgians. The commissioners are elected statewide but must reside in particular districts. Eaton represents the 3rd District, which includes Fulton, DeKalb, Clayton and Rockdale counties.
