Alabama Power teams and crews supported Georgia in the wake of the devastation of Hurricane Helene and received support and appreciation from residents of the Peachtree State.

After assisting those affected in Alabama, Alabama Power sent more than 1,000 workers and more than 500 contractors east to assist sister company Georgia Power with restoration efforts in the harder-hit state.

Alabama Power crews assisted in areas that saw major damage, including Augusta, Savannah, Macon and Valdosta, where they replaced more than 2,700 poles, 1,150 transformers and 11,850 spans of wire.
