Our Culture
Safety First, Intentional Inclusion, Act with Integrity, and Superior Performance
How we work is just as important to us as what we do, and by focusing on these values we can achieve success and belonging both for our company and the communities we serve.
Valuing our employees
Our employees are the backbone of who we are. Our highly-skilled workforce is a reflection of the best our communities have to offer, and we’re committed to helping them learn, grow, and advance in their careers.
They are our most valuable resource, and we work as a team to ensure they reach their full potential.
Creating an inclusive workplace
From the bustling streets of Midtown Atlanta to the Blue Ridge Mountains and beyond, we strive to create a culture that embraces the communities we serve.
Our focus on intentional inclusion helps us to maintain an environment where all ideas are heard and celebrated, and all of us are encouraged to grow and flourish.
Inspiring volunteerism
Every year our employees volunteer tens of thousands of hours of their time helping out in our communities outside of work - going above and beyond embodying our motto of being A Citizen Wherever We Serve.

Our Generation Workers
By maintaining our facilities, exploring new technologies, keeping systems intact and in order, or simply by serving their communities, our generation team helps make Georgia the best place in the country to live, work, and thrive.
They're dedicated to ensuring that Georgia is always on, always welcoming, and always growing.
Our Lineworkers
When the lights flicker in a storm and we huddle, warm and dry, to wait out the weather, there is a lineworker who is gearing up to head towards trouble – ready to face the elements in order to keep our communities safe and connected.
Because of the expertise and dedication of our lineworkers, we’re able to bring you the reliable energy your life demands.
How We Work
Generating power
We are one team, and whether we're working in our power plants, safely generating the energy that powers our lives, in the field safely restoring power after an outage, or connecting with our communities across the state, we all work together to ensure that Georgians have the clean, safe, reliable, affordable energy they deserve.
Operating and maintaining the grid
Our grid is how we deliver the energy we generate to homes and businesses across the state. Our teams in the field make sure that electricity can be safely and efficiently sent to you whenever and wherever you need. From lineworkers and substation workers to vegetation management professionals and power system coordinators, our teams are constantly working to keep the lights on across the state of Georgia.
Helping customers
Georgia is our home, and Georgia Power is dedicated to ensuring that all Georgians have the opportunity they deserve to thrive. Whether this means implementing programs, supporting our customers, or connecting people with resources, we have teams all around the state whose mission is to keep Georgians connected.
Keeping the public informed
We recognize the responsibility we have to communicate honestly and directly with the communities we are fortunate to serve. Our media response, web, and creative teams all work to ensure that we can get important messaging out to the public as quickly as possible.
Legislative filings and compliance
Both our state and our company benefit from a constructive regulatory environment. We work closely with community leaders and elected officials in the communities we serve to ensure that we’re operating within the confines of those regulations and that our business is improving the lives of Georgians across the state.
Living and breathing safety
Safety is more than a value; it is a way of life. We have passionate people across our company who work to ensure that everything we do – from line work and generation to corporate department meetings – is done safely 100% of the time.
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
The skills, experiences, and perspectives our employees bring to work every day contribute to our company’s success.
Our ERGs are open to all employees as they provide opportunities for connection, collaboration, sharing ideas, and participation in activities that support a respectful and engaged workplace. These groups encourage learning, networking, and employee engagement through workshops, educational sessions, networking opportunities, and other activities aligned with the company’s business priorities.
Employee Resource Groups also offer members opportunities to build professional skills, collaborate across the organization, and engage with leaders while supporting a positive and productive work environment.
