Commissioner Tim Echols was elected to the PSC in 2011. Th focus of the Public Service Commissioner is energy regulation and when Tim took office, Georgia was 34th in solar power. Now, the state is 9th in the nation for installed solar. In 2020, Conservatives for Clean Energy dubbed Echols the "Solar Architect of Georgia." Commissioner Echols created a Clean Energy Roadshow that has traveled the state every summer for the last eight years. This educational event travels to cities around the state helping commuters, businesses and municipal governments evaluate alternative fuel for their transportation and residential use. He was also instrumental in keeping Plant Vogtle moving forward. He believes carbon-free nuclear energy plus solar is the way forward for Georgia and has represented the United States at the World Nuclear Exhibition for the last six years. Tim leads by example by adding solar hot water heating to his home that he shares with longtime spouse Windy and raised 7 children. He also owns a natural gas car, a propane van and now owns an electric car and working to raise funds for the Hog Hammock Foundation a 16-panel solar pavilion in Sapelo, the home of one of the last remaining Gullah Geechee communities and this array will provide free electricity to the library for the next 30 years. With all that he does Tim has time for a weekly radio show called Energy Matters airing on Cox Media Group
