The Alabama Public Service Commission regulates Alabama Power on many matters, but the proposed Chandler Mountain pumped storage project falls under federal authority.
Alabama PSC President Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh issued a press release Tuesday morning calling the proposal an “energy fantasy,” and vowing to stop the project.
“Alabama needs a full portfolio of energy production options, but I will never let the climate socialists import their energy fantasies from California.” Alabama Power has said that the project could help accommodate renewable solar energy by providing power at night when solar panels don’t produce. The company has said that while it has applied for the license for the project, it has not made a final decision on whether to move forward with the project if approved.
