Our crews worked throughout the night on the final stages of restoration following Winter Storm #Cora. Thank you to all of our partners at the local and state levels for the advance preparation and continued coordination as we responded to Winter Storm Cora, safely and efficiently. We are grateful to the thousands of line workers who worked safely, quickly, and around the clock, to repair damage from snow, freezing rain, fallen trees and ice to restore service to hundreds of thousands of customers since Friday. We’re proud to be here for Georgia, and here for you!

Keeping our customers warm means managing icicles in freezing weather. 🌨️ 📸 Pictured here our crews are working the overnight shift at Plant McDonough. During the winter, icicles can accumulate at our plants- and our crews work around the clock to manage them and keep the plant running reliably. 💪⚡️

Our crew is #AlwaysPrepared for severe weather. ❄️🌨️ With the winter weather hitting Georgia this week, we wanted to show you how our power plants prepare for the winter season. 💪   Generating plants like Plant #Vogtle and Plant Hatch prepare their pipes much like you would at home to keep them running reliably 24/7- 365.🔧   For more information on how we prepare, visit georgiapower.com/storm #GAWX #georgiapower

🔊 Volume up—you're hearing the sounds of the repair shop. 🛠️ #ASMR

👋 And that's a wrap on 2024! Happy 2025 from our crew to yours. 💪⚡

🌳 POV: You’re a Georgia Power Wildlife Biologist! 🐦⬛Meet Jim, a wildlife biologist with a passion for preserving Georgia’s natural habitats. Before joining Georgia Power, Jim worked with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. Now, he works in the Environmental Affairs Department on rare species conservation in partnership with our Land Management team. 🌱 One species close to Jim’s heart is the red-cockaded woodpecker, which was recently downlisted from “endangered” to “threatened” by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. But as Jim says, “This is a big step—but there’s still a lot of work to do.” Georgia Power’s forestry team helped support this recovery by restoring the longleaf pine ecosystem- the habitat of the red cockaded woodpecker, gopher tortoises, and many other species. 🌲✨ Learn more at https://lnkd.in/eewcjcVy

With the passing of President Jimmy Carter, the world has lost an incredible leader and philanthropist, and the state of Georgia has lost a truly irreplaceable person who is a part of our shared heritage and helped build the Georgia we know today. While we mourn the loss of President Carter, we also celebrate his long life of faith, his steadfast example of service and his tireless commitment to spreading peace and improving and uplifting the lives of people across the globe. Born in Plains, Georgia, 100 years ago, he served his state and nation at all levels - in the U.S. Navy, as a farmer and businessman, as a state legislator and governor, and as president of the United States. In each role, he brought a dedication to leading with kindness and thoughtfulness, and a unique ability to work through challenges and bring people together for the good of others. There are few more inspiring examples of devotion and true partnership than that between President Carter and his wife Rosalynn, with whom he founded the Carter Center, focusing on resolving conflict, promoting democracy, protecting human rights, and preventing disease at home and abroad. The Carters were also well known for their work with Habitat for Humanity in advancing the mission of that organization and building of thousands of homes for families over decades – including working alongside many Georgia Power volunteers in communities across our state. Whether on the world stage or quietly teaching Sunday School in his local church well into his 90s, President Carter displayed and lived out his strong sense of purpose and citizenship every single day and, while he will be sorely missed, his legacy of service will continue to inspire us and many others for generations. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Carter family during this time.

🎄⚡️Our lineworkers are spreading holiday cheer across the state! This December, our crews joined local parades, gift drives, and even teamed up with the Sandy Springs Fire Department and the City of Sandy Springs at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta for an unforgettable event! 🎅🎁 This year our linemen went up in the bucket next to Santa to wave at the children at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Scottish Rite Hospital and then joined the fire crew in handing out gifts. It wasn't just the fire department and our crew- we were able to bring our mascot friends from the Braves, the Hawks, and the Falcons. 🎁🚒   For Apprentice Lineman Adam, this event hit close to home. Growing up in Sandy Springs and being a patient at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, he gained a new perspective on the magic of bringing smiles to kids in need. "We often see people when the lights are off, so this is special—to be here supporting the community and making a difference," he shared. Brandon, one of our linemen who participated in the Valdosta Holiday Parade, put it perfectly: "I'm so thankful to work with these people and show love to our citizens—even if it's just through waving, passing out candy, and saying 'Merry Christmas!' and 'Happy Holidays'.” We’re grateful for the chance to serve our community and spread holiday cheer! 💙🎄

You might not see us on your street—because we're working beneath it. 🚧⚡️ Our Network Underground team is on the job every day, making sure Georgians get clean, safe, reliable, and affordable energy. So, what do they do? This crew goes underground into manholes and vaults to splice and replace cables, helping bring power to our commercial customers on the grid from the substations, and then to you. 💡🔌 #UndergroundHeros #MediumVoltage #CableSplicers
