Three storm milestones carry figures
On September 10, 2026, Georgia Power, a Southern Company subsidiary, received approval for seven solar power purchase agreements totaling 1,137 megawatts, according to SSG Events.
On October 9, 2026, Alabama Power staged more than 5,700 additional resources from 25 states ahead of the hurricane, as reported by Seeking Alpha. On October 10, 2026, Southern Company said its electric utilities had restored service to 420,000 customers across Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi, according to PR Newswire.
What does the response mean for operations?
The figures show the scale of Southern Companys operating network: crews and contractors from 25 states joined the restoration effort, while the remaining 80,000 outages keep reliability and storm costs in view. The company also said it used predictive analytics, real-time operational data and artificial intelligence to position crews before landfall, making technology part of the operational story rather than a separate growth promise.
