    Mississippi Power is making valuable upgrades ✅ As part of our ongoing grid investment initiative, we’re taking Richton’s distribution system from 4kV to 12kV. This will bring residents one step closer to our self-healing network, and that means fewer and shorter outages in the future.

  • When Winter Storm Cora hit, Georgia Power’s Aubree and her father, Mike, worked together to restore power. Mike, a retiree and now contractor, found himself reporting directly to his daughter. Aubree grew up spending time at the Georgia Power Cornelia office, following in her dad’s footsteps to become an engineer. Their unique story highlights the dedication and legacy of our teammates across our family of companies. We're happy to report, their bond grew stronger as they worked side-by-side to restore power and serve our communities.

    When you think of batteries 🔋, you probably imagine the ones piled up in your junk drawer. But did you know that Georgia Power operates a battery energy storage facility connected directly to the grid near Columbus? ⚡️ Battery energy storage helps keep our grid reliable and supports our diverse generation mix by storing 65 megawatts of energy that can be deployed in the blink of an eye. 🔌⚡️That's four hours of power ready to go on cold winter mornings or overcast days when an energy source like solar power may not be available.  #BatteryPower #GridReliability #SolarEnergy #GeorgiaPower
