As many of our customers know firsthand, Hurricane Helene was the most destructive hurricane in Georgia Power history. Many of our seasoned crew members said that they had, “never seen anything like this before." We could not be more grateful for our team for their dedication to Georgians and getting the job done safely and efficiently.? ? We wanted to share this open letter from our CEO Kim Greene to our customers in the aftermath of this historic storm. We Are Here for Georgia. We Are Here for You.

Our crews are using every available resource to assist with safe and efficient restoration following Hurricane Helene. We’ve utilized drones throughout the restoration process to assess damage in the hardest hit areas- but we are also using them to transfer materials. In this video you can see a drone pulling material across standing water, helping our crews push forward in restoration. As of October 7, we have safely restored power to more than 1.5 million people, or 99% percent of all impacted customers, following the storm. Helene spared virtually no part of the state and severely impacted areas such as Augusta, Savannah, Valdosta and many other communities. We are continuing to work with the same passion to get the remaining 1% impacted the energy that they need. Thank you and please continue to stay safe.
