Georgia: official power outage sources
Georgia Power is the state's investor-owned utility.

The Georgia Public Service Commission oversees Georgia Power and assigns electric service territories.

If your power is out
- Stay away from downed lines and anything touching them. Call 911.
- Report it to your own utility. The name and outage phone number are on your electric bill. Do not assume a neighbor has reported it.
- Check your utility's outage page for the area affected and any restoration estimate. Only your utility can give that estimate.

Good to know in Georgia
- Georgia Power's map does not cover EMC or city utility customers; check with your own provider.
- EMC customers should report outages to their local cooperative.
- There is no single outage map that covers every utility in Georgia.
- A restoration estimate is not a promise; if your meter or service connection is damaged, you may need repairs before power can be restored.
The wider grid
Regional grid organizations and balancing areas that cover all or part of Georgia: Southern Company; TVA; Duke Energy; SEPA. They balance supply and demand on the high-voltage system. Their alerts describe the regional system, not an outage on your street. How the pieces fit together
