Georgia Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company, has restored power to nearly all customers affected by Winter Storm Fern, which brought high winds, freezing rain, snow, and icy conditions across Georgia. The storm led to a statewide state of emergency and caused outages for more than 214,000 customers. Crews have been working around the clock, with the majority of remaining outages concentrated in North Georgia areas such as Clayton and Cornelia, where restoration efforts continue due to severe damage and challenging conditions. The company’s generation fleet remains prepared to meet increased electricity demand during the ongoing severe cold weather.
