Tim Echols, Public Service Commissioner to speak
Echols was elected Public Service Commissioner in 2010.
The PSC's primary job is energy regulation. Echols has brought Georgia from
34th in solar power to what will be 4th in installed solar by 2024. Echols has also created the Clean Energy
Roadshow which helps commuters, businesses and municipal governments evaluate
alternative fuel for their transportation and residential use. Tim
rallied donors to build a 16-panel solar pavilion for the community library on Sapelo
island off Georgia’s coast, the home of the last remaining Gullah Geechee
communities which now has free electricity for the next 30 years. Tim has a
weekly radio show called Energy Matters. When Tim is not managing Georgia's energy portfolio, Tim fights sex trafficking and advocates for the
youngest of Georgia’s citizens. He created the "UnHoly Tour" which
helps policy makers see first-hand the harms of sex trafficking. The tour is
credited with rescuing two children in Atlanta. Tim also founded “TeenPact” and grew the mock legislative youth program for teens to 38
states in his tenure. He continues to serve on the Board of Directors, and
TeenPact is now in all 50 states. Tim and his wife, Windy, have been married 38 years and they
have seven children and now live in Hoschton, Georgia.
