Georgia Power upgrades grid to reduce outages and speed recovery during hurricane season.

Georgia Power has invested $1.3 billion over three years to strengthen its grid, improving reliability and speeding power restoration during storms like Hurricane Helene in 2024. Despite a predicted below-normal hurricane season, warmer ocean temperatures may intensify storms, making these upgrades crucial for protecting customers. The company encourages residents to prepare emergency kits and stay informed through its mobile app and outage alerts. These efforts aim to minimize outages and enhance safety during the Atlantic hurricane season running through November 30.
