- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about the Savannah Electric and Power Company. Before its 2006 merger with Georgia Power, Savannah Electric and Power Company powered nearly 140,000 homes and businesses and served approximately 320,000 people in east Georgia, covering 5 counties and 2,000 square miles. The utility, using fossil-fueled power plants (steam and gas turbines), generated 800 megawatts of capacity to produce about 48 percent of its power supply. It purchased the rest from affiliates and wholesale marketers and also marketed wholesale energy, provided energy conservation services, and sold outdoor lighting and surge protection products.
