In homes and businesses across Georgia, you depend on us with every flip of a switch. And at Georgia Power, we work hard to be there for you, every time. We take our commitment seriously, and we’re always on the job working to keep the power on.
We’re investing in every step of our operations so that we’re prepared for seasonal demand, inclement weather, and the extraordinary growth in our state. We take care of generating and delivering reliable energy so that you can take care of what matters most to you.
It starts long before you flip the switch. Our thousands of team members work hard at our plants, substations and along the lines to make sure we are always ready.
It’s around-the-clock preparation and rapid response when restoration is needed.
Reliability starts with producing power for our 2.7 million customers – and growing. Through our diverse network of electric generation plants, hydro dams and multiple solar energy facilities across the state, we’re meeting demand right now and preparing for Georgia’s growth. Last year, our non-nuclear energy generation assets achieved an outage rate of 1.49% – among the best in the industry.

Power moves across our state through a network of nearly 20,000 high-voltage transmission lines, various substations, and distribution lines that service homes and businesses. We’re constantly evaluating, upgrading, and maintaining that infrastructure to prevent outages and enable rapid restoration when they happen. Through these purposeful investments and data-driven approach, customers last year experienced an average of 15% fewer power outages and restoration times an average of 27 minutes faster than the previous year.
We mobilize the latest technology, whether in trimming the trees around lines or installing automated devices that can detect outages, to keep the grid ready to deliver not only during storms, but every day. More than 60% of our distribution grid can now be considered “self-healing,” helping avoid thousands of power outages each year.
