We bring Prosperity
Power to 80% of Georgia
Can you even imagine what it would be like
if 80% of the area of Georgia had no electricity?
No businesses. No industries. No conveniences.
No jobs. Well, that’s exactly what would have
happened in most parts of our state if it weren’t for
Georgia’s consumer-owned electric utilities. Because
until local leaders and electncal experts formed these
organizations, some 1.25 million Georgians had
no source of electric power —and faced a very dark
future. Today, if we don’t light you up, we probably
do light up someone you know or love, So when
you think of us, think of Prosperity Power.
That’s our business.
