Georgia Power Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Grok (@grok) reported@Pharoahsphere @GeorgiaPower Pass-throughs (also called riders or recovery charges) on Georgia Power bills are regulated fees that let the company recover specific costs directly from customers, with no profit earned on them (like fuel or franchise fees). They're approved by the PSC and can fluctuate. Examples: Fuel Cost Recovery (FCR) for power generation fuel; Environmental Compliance Cost Recovery (ECCR) for regs; Nuclear Construction Cost Recovery (Vogtle); Municipal Franchise Fee for city rights-of-way; Demand Side Management (DSM). Unlike frozen base rates, these adjust with actual expenses. Check your bill or GA PSC site for details.

Randy H (@RandyH40092219) reported@GeorgiaPower the worst. How did we lose power the day after the storm, but we have power all during and many hours, after.
-
Monica (@mmeans40) reported@GeorgiaPower Our power went out last Saturday, and it's out today. It's sad we can not enjoy our homes on the weekend due to power outages. I wish we had another option for a power company. #atlantaforward
-
PK0137 (@PapiLoco73) reported@GeorgiaPower can we please please expedite getting the power turned back on in Savannah. Unacceptable
-

-
Katrina Oliver (@oliver_kd) reported@GeorgiaPower Monday, filled out online application for service and a house that we were closing on Thursday. Submitted all documents requested and received a confirmation email saying that things would be processed in 1-2 days. Friday, there is no power!
-
Kevin Hubbard, MBA, aPHR (@kevinHRhubbard) reportedaaaaaand my power is out @GeorgiaPower 🆘🆘🆘
-
eric weening (@eric_weening) reported@GeorgiaPower maybe a bit less advertising on how much you invest and do actual work as now again for second time in 2 weeks am without power due transformer blowing up
-
Kai (@Kaibo_Sky) reported@GeorgiaPower When will the power return in Valdosta, Ga? It's been out since 8am today.
-
Christy Winget (@WingetChristy) reported@GeorgiaPower how can I talk to someone rather than automated service? I have an emergency that I need to speak to someone about
-
🌞 Joja Sunshyne 🍑💙😍 (@gOLEden_SIGMA) reportedDamn it, @GeorgiaPower! How dare you send out an automated call saying the power's restored when I know my eyes are open & seeing darkness all over my section of the subdivision! DO BETTER!
-
Tiffany Milburn (@TiffMiltn5) reported@GeorgiaPower Proud to outrageously charge customers and tack on more “fees” than the actual power charge…
-
Jeremy (@jsmurray) reported@GeorgiaPower Please assess and upgrade the power grid in the Madison Yards/Glenwood Park/Grant Park area in Atlanta. This is the 2nd time in a few weeks that I've been to @AMCTheatres and the power went out multiple times due to rain or wind. 1/2
-
Codpiece of Doom (@Citizen010101) reported@brianna_a5 @GeorgiaPower Your power is out because we Americans are stupid and didn’t take many, many opportunities over the course of the past century to run our power lines underground.
-
Aunty CheyReal🙏🏽🏠🙏🏽It’s da RealRedd! (@cctrini) reported@GeorgiaPower Hi, I tweeted you bcuz I hadn’t received an email warning about the blackout until minutes after the blackout. However we’re good. Our power was restored at 2:45am the next morning. Thanks for your response 🙏🏽
-
i.dreamof.genie (@dreamof_genie) reported from Forest Park, Georgia@GeorgiaPower your websites down
-
DoNotStepOnSnek (@DoNotStepOnSnek) reported@GeorgiaPower Mismanaging vogtle construction should have cost georgia power money. It is a scam that you have law mandated profits, there is no incentive to make power efficiently.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@RefugeeCali @GeorgiaPower Yes, Georgia Power lobbies aggressively for policies enabling data center growth. They secured PSC approval in Dec 2025 for ~10 GW new capacity (mostly gas plants, $16B+ upfront) to serve them, citing 80% of new demand from data centers. Lawmakers call them GA's top lobbying force with 30+ lobbyists; they oppose bills forcing full cost isolation to data centers. Utilities profit from the rate base expansion.

Aunty CheyReal🙏🏽🏠🙏🏽It’s da RealRedd! (@cctrini) reported@GeorgiaPower what happened to my power?

Lokesh Bohra (@7okesh) reportedGeorgia Power’s gas plant faces green pushback—can they clear the regulatory gauntlet? #GeorgiaPower #gasplants
-
Scatapult (@Scatapult) reported@GeorgiaPower Why does a power company need to advertise? Its not as if you have a choice who to get your power from.
-
David Kill 🇺🇸 (@iamdavidkill) reported@GeorgiaPower no power, no bad weather…this is getting old
-
JVonRyan (@JVonRyan1) reported@GeorgiaPower I’m not proud of my $371 a month “monopolized” power bills each month. Highway robbery.
-
David Kill 🇺🇸 (@iamdavidkill) reported@GeorgiaPower you’ve gotta fix this! This is ridiculous 😡😡😡
-
Carlitos Fermin (@carlitosf79) reported@GeorgiaPower I need someone of you to help me because I received a bill of 500 dollars and I live in a small apartment and I am waiting for you to give me an answer and come to check! I have called and no one answers I sent emails and nothing! Please
-
MaryE (@nanna59) reported@GeorgiaPower GA Power is asking for another rate increase to cover gas costs? You are making senior citizens, who can’t afford food and electricity now, to cover your bills? Shame on you!
-
Brotein (@Shaun2059057) reported@GeorgiaPower Why is my bill so damn high?
-
Rachael Schulman (@RachaelSch69193) reported@GeorgiaPower @GeorgiaPower who can I contact about my fraudulent billing? I now have another 30 days of my wattage usage I’ve monitored and proof I’m being significantly over billed. I need this resolved! Customer service managers say no help available. 😡
-

-
Hole and Oates (@Stayon78) reported@GeorgiaPower power goes out during sunny 70 degree weather and can’t get anybody on the phone to explain why.
