Polls are closed in Georgia's Public Service Commission runoff. Results here.
Peter Hubbard, an energy consultant and expert, has won the Democratic nomination for District 3 of the Georgia Public Service Commission. Hubbard defeated fellow Democrat Keisha Waites by about 16 percentage points in Tuesday's primary election runoff, according to results from the Georgia Secretary of State's office. Hubbard will face incumbent Republican Commissioner Fitz Johnson in the November election. Waites and Hubbard were the top two vote-getters in the primary last month, but didn't secure more than 50% of the vote, so a runoff was required by Georgia law. Waites received 57,800 votes and Hubbard received 41,832. Robert Jones received 25,898, eliminating him from the runoff. Georgia Conservation Voters endorsed Hubbard prior to the runoff, calling him an 'ideal candidate.' 'Peter's understanding of how companies rig the game by hiding the devil in the details, like how Georgia Power's modeling tends to be biased toward massive construction projects, where customers end up footing the bill, demonstrates the kind of strategic thinker that could benefit Georgians. GCV encourages everyone who cares about low bills and safe energy to use their vote to influence this critical election,' the endorsement said. Hubbard has a nonprofit, the Georgia Center for Energy Solutions, which consults on electric utility Integrated Resource Plans and has testified on Georgia Power's Integrated Resource Plans for six years, across four different plans from 2019 to 2025. In 2025, he created his own alternative IRP and brought it to the commission. 'I'm an expert in the subject matter,' he said prior to the runoff. 'You need an energy expert to be able to understand all the ways that that costs are being shifted onto residential rate payers and customers like me and you, and that's what I bring is that 15 years of experience in the energy industry putting together power plants of what to build and retire, understanding the different mechanisms and ways that in a rate case you can shift costs.'
