Hurricane Helene
Helene is the most destructive hurricane to ever hit the Georgia Power system.
As of October 5, 2024, Georgia Power has restored electricity to over 1.3 million customers, which is more than 95% of those impacted by Hurricane Helene.
Crews working to restore power to customers still impacted
Over 20,000 personnel are fully engaged in storm restoration efforts, addressing severe infrastructure damage. Restoration efforts are ongoing, particularly in the hardest-hit areas like Augusta, where approximately 50,000 customers are still without power. Crews are working around the clock and will remain in the field until all reconnectable customers have service.
Donations and Support
As part of the Southern Company family, Georgia Power is deeply involved in coordinating and contributing to the extensive restoration and relief efforts following Hurricane Helene. Demonstrating a strong commitment to the recovery process, multiple charitable foundations within the Southern Company system have pledged a combined $3 million to support ongoing restoration and relief efforts across the state.
Please continue to avoid downed lines, trees, metal fences, and standing water as they could be electrified.
