Back in March, we had the honor of supporting the Cook County Special Olympics—and we’re so excited to share this incredible moment. 💙 Kyle Watkins, who helped organize Georgia Power’s support, stated, “We want to show that Georgia Power cares for not just the power, but we care about the community.” For many of these athletes, this event is the highlight of their year. It’s a day filled with teamwork, courage, and joy—and we’re honored to be part of it. Cook County school organizer Emme Watkins added, “They get to play with a team, and they get to win. They get to be courageous, and they get to all come together and play sports. They love it.” Our team donated $2,000 to help provide lunch and essential items for every athlete, and we showed up in full force—helping run games, cheering on teams, and even having our linemen step in as coaches. And for our volunteers, the impact is personal. Georgia Power’s Indira Stephens said, “The Special Olympics has a special place in my heart… anytime we can highlight our athletes we try to do so.” We’re proud to support these amazing athletes and can’t wait to cheer them on again. 👏 #CommunityStrong #SpecialOlympics #GeorgiaPower

Earlier this year, @GeorgiaPower awarded the Rose City Royals, an 8U softball team from Thomasville, a $2,000 grant from its Power Her Dreams grant program. This grant will go towards equipment and other items for the team. The Royals were recognized at the @UGASoftball game on May 2. #GoDawgs

Honoring Service. Celebrating Legacy. We’re proud to share the story of Jim Rittenhouse — a Georgia Power retiree, World War II veteran, and remarkable leader whose legacy continues to inspire. At just 18 years old, Jim enlisted in the U.S. Army and served on the front lines in Europe during World War II. After being wounded in action, he was awarded the Purple Heart before returning home and continuing his service to others in a new way. Jim went on to spend 38 years with Georgia Power, rising to Vice President of the East Metro division and helping lead through a period of rapid growth in the Atlanta region. Along the way, he built strong teams, supported customers, and embodied the values that continue to guide our work today. Now, at 100 years old, Jim remains a proud veteran and active member of his community — a powerful reminder of the lasting impact service can have, both in uniform and beyond. We’re honored to share Jim’s story and celebrate the legacy of service he represents.

This Memorial Day, we take time to remember those who have fallen in defense of our country and our freedoms. Their courage, dedication, and sacrifice - and those of their families - will never be forgotten.

While the wildfires are mostly contained in South Georgia, their effects will last. We wanted to take a moment to share where our Brantley County neighbors can find help—whether it’s housing, food and toiletries, or simply a hot meal. We are honored to have the opportunity to be on the ground with Family Connections to support their mission, both through volunteers and a $10,000 donation. Across the affected counties, we have also contributed an additional $25,000 to support our neighbors during this time. If you or anyone you know has been affected by the Georgia wildfires, please know that help is available. We are here to connect you with the organizations working on the ground to provide support.
