Brandon nominated Kyle and Bryan for their unwavering support during his military deployments, including his current service. Tiffani nominated William for his invaluable assistance with her role at the Transmission Control Center while she was on orders for Hurricane Helene, serving as the officer in charge of the communications squadron for FEMA Region IV. Congratulations to Kyle, Bryan, and William for their dedication and commitment to supporting our team. Your efforts truly make a difference! 🙌

In celebration of World Wildlife Day 🌍, we are proud to highlight the dedication of our Environmental Affairs team in supporting conservation of wildlife and native plants. 🌱 Our team collaborates closely with state and federal agencies, as well as private organizations, to drive impactful conservation efforts. 🤝 One of the key frameworks guiding our work is the State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP), developed by the Georgia DNR Wildlife Conservation Section. This document, revised every 10 years, identifies, and prioritizes conservation needs based on the latest knowledge and evolving priorities. We're excited to share that Georgia Power associates have actively contributed to the latest draft revision, serving on the Advisory Committee and several technical teams. "Georgia Power is proud to be involved in this strategic planning process that helps guide our conservation efforts so that we can most effectively contribute to landscape-level priorities,” said Wildlife Biologist Jim Ozier. “Company lands and rights-of-way are known for their natural assets, including habitat for rare species and public recreation." Together, we’re committed to supporting the conservation of Georgia’s rich biodiversity for future generations. 🌳 #WorldWildlifeDay #Conservation #Biodiversity #GeorgiaPower

Meet Gregory Roper, MBA! 👋 He started as an engineer on our Distribution team and now works directly with customers on our Business Development team.   When asked about what Intentional Inclusion means to him, he said, “It’s important to be inclusive 365 days a year. We’re a diverse company serving diverse customers, so we need to show up for them and for each other.”   Gregory also shared about his inspiration, Lewis Latimer, a self-taught engineer who worked on the team that improved the production of the carbon filament for the lightbulb. 💡   #BHM #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistory #AmericanHistory #Lightbulb #HistoryOfEnergy #BHM #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistory #AmericanHistory #Lightbulb #HistoryOfEnergy

You see them while driving and benefit from their work every time you flip a switch, but have you ever wondered who creates our electric grid? ⚡️ Meet Jazmin, one of our talented engineers specializing in #HighVoltage line design. She spends her time both in the field executing projects and designing future grid work. Before joining Georgia Power, Jazmin attended Fort Valley State University and was an active member of their marching band. 🎓🎶 We couldn’t be more grateful for Jazmin and her dedication to Georgia! 💙 #EngineeringWeek2025 #PoweringGeorgia #WomenInEngineering #FVSU

Ever wondered what goes on when a lineman is working a line? 🔧 Chad, our apprentice lineworker, is working on a de-energized transmission line, swapping it out for a distribution line. ⚡ This new line will connect our substation to our customers in the area. Chad, our apprentice, opted to keep his rubber gloves on, even though the line is de-energized. This helps him get experience working with the gloves on when it is needed for energized work. To do linework safely and efficiently, sometimes we need to de-energize lines. This keeps our crews and apprentices safe while boosting the reliability of the line.

Adaptive bikes can transform the lives of children with disabilities by providing at-home physical therapy through a traditional childhood experience/activity. However, many families can’t afford these $4,500-$5,000 bikes, often not covered by insurance. Since 2021, our team has teamed up with Wellspring Wellness Center in Houston County, Georgia, and Freedom Concepts to donate 25 customized bikes to children with disabilities, changing lives across Georgia.   Crystal, a Georgia Power employee, saw firsthand the impact adapted bikes through her daughter with cerebral palsy, noting a 75 percent improvement in her strength. The joy and hope from each bike presentation fuel our commitment to this initiative. 🌟 Read more at https://lnkd.in/g3iNxX7T

It's not just our #linemen who prep for severe weather—our entire team plays a role in keeping Georgia's power reliable! 💪⚡️ During winter storms #Cora and #Enzo, our generating plants showed how they prepare year-round. At Plant McDonough in Cobb County, our Natural Gas crew worked in subfreezing temps to keep the plant running. They insulated equipment to prevent freezing and navigated massive icicles that formed. ❄️ This is just one way we ensure energy keeps flowing for you. 🔋 #GAWX #WinterWeather #GeorgiaPower

⚡ Before the Bucket ⚡ Pictured here is a #lineman from the early 1900s climbing a pole while his crew assists from the ground. 💪 The bucket trucks 🛻 you see driving around today wouldn't be invented until the 1940s and would be widely adopted in the utility industry in the 1950s. 📸 from the Georgia Power Archives. #EnergyThroughTheAges #linemen #linework #history
