Outages and Storm Center
Storm Center
Safety is our No. 1 value. We are here to support you before, during and after the storm.
Our Storm Center coordinates our company’s storm readiness efforts, as well as crews from sister companies within Southern Company and neighboring utilities, to make sure we get your lights back on as quickly as possible.
The Storm Center also functions as a communications system, posting timely storm updates on twitter.com/alabamapower.
