Can I still negotiate directly with Southern Companys energy traders?
A. Yes. Subject to the terms of the energy auction, the Southern Company operating companies will maintain their existing market-based rate authority. Therefore, Southern Company Services will continue to be able to negotiate bi-lateral contracts on their behalf in both the short-term as well as the long-term markets. During the bid period of any given auction, however, Southern Company Services will not be able to sell the same product(s) offered by that auction. In other words, the Southern Company operating companies will not compete with their own auction as long as that auction is active.
