 How does Georgia Power decide who gets power first after a storm? Well, that's a really good question and here's how. Georgia Power focuses first on restoring power to hospitals, schools, with other public safety facilities taking priority. Next, we work to fix outages to get power to the greatest number of customers. Even if you don't see our crews in your neighborhood, trust me, they're still working nearby. Our goal is to get power back to as many people as possible, as quickly, as safely as possible. We get it. Not having electricity, especially now, is challenging. That's why we ask for your patience as our teams work to get the lights back on.
