#HurricaneHelene made landfall in late September as a Category 4 hurricane and impacted nearly 6 million customers in 10 states. An army of more than 50,000 workers from at least 41 states, Washington, D.C., and Canada was dedicated to the Helene response—one of the largest and most complex industry restoration efforts in U.S. history. Less than two weeks later, a second mutual assistance mobilization got underway as #HurricaneMilton approached Florida. That storm was a Category 3 hurricane and caused dozens of tornadoes as it raked across the Florida peninsula.   On the latest #ElectricPerspectivesPodcast episode, we are joined by Stan Connally, executive vice president of operations at Southern Company, and Chair, President, and CEO of Southern Company Services, to discuss Georgia Power Company's restoration efforts after #HurricaneHelene and its massive mutual assistance response, our industry's partnership with the federal government to protect critical infrastructure, how resilience investments are increasing grid reliability, and more. 🎧 Listen to the full conversation now: https://bit.ly/3Yurr8r

Edison Electric Institute’s Dan Brouillette announced today that he is stepping down as President & Chief Executive Officer. In a statement from Mr. Brouillette, he said: “For most of my career in the private sector, with Congress, and in the Executive Branch, I have worked to make America energy independent. And during my tenure as both Deputy Secretary and Secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy, the United States became a net energy exporter for the first time in three generations. We reawakened our nuclear enrichment capabilities, producing innovative and safe fuels that are poised to power the next wave of small modular nuclear reactors. Our nation also spearheaded the development of two of the world’s fastest supercomputers, paving the way for today’s rapid advancements in artificial intelligence. During a period of global upheaval, we stabilized oil markets, showcasing our energy resilience and capability amid the challenges of a pandemic.” “But today, our world stands at a critical juncture. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Iran’s assault on Israel, and China’s increasing assertiveness across the Indo-Pacific and the global south underscore the complex energy and security challenges we now face. Within the U.S., shifting regulatory, legislative, and judicial landscapes are challenging the creativity that has defined American energy leadership and prosperity.” “This profound shift compels me to broaden my focus to the overarching issues facing our global energy landscape. With a deep sense of purpose, I have decided to leave my position as President & CEO of Edison Electric Institute later this year so that I can spend my time engaging directly with world business and policy leaders on these existential challenges, and hopefully prevent this age of innovation from becoming an age of limitation.” Read the full press release at: https://lnkd.in/euERHsF5
