Georgia Power Crews to assist with Hurricane Delta recovery

As Hurricane Delta struck landfall along the Gulf Coast, Georgia Power is ready to respond and support Mississippi Power. Approximately 150 Georgia Power personnel and 150 contract teams traveled to the state on Friday. Georgia Power continues monitoring the changing weather around the clock and coordinates with other utilities to field requests for assistance through the mutual assistance network.  With each request for assistance, the company ensures that it has sufficient coverage to respond to any potential local service interruptions.  The mutual assistance network consists of hundreds of utilities from around the country. As part of this partnership, Georgia Power is able to respond and offer assistance, providing reinforcements when needed to restore power quickly for other utilities. The company is also able to tap into this mutual assistance network if additional resources are needed to help restore power to Georgia Power customers following a major storm.  The company requested and received assistance from other utilities during several major storms that impacted Georgia Power customers previously including Hurricanes Michael and Irma.
