Procurement - Coal

Southern Company Services acts as agent in the procurement of coal and transportation services for Alabama Power Company, Georgia Power Company, Gulf Power Company, and Mississippi Power Company. In addition, Southern Company Services is agent for the co-owners for Plant Scherer and Plant Wansley.

Our current procurement policy is to secure fuel of acceptable quality and quantity at the lowest evaluated cost. To perform this responsibility, we solicit requests for proposals on a competitive bid basis. By doing so we provide opportunities for all reputable suppliers, minority or otherwise, to participate in the fuel program. In addition, Southern Company Services accepts unsolicited bids at any time. They may be submitted to any of the fuel buyers by fax (205-257-7795) or through the internet bidding system.

To participate in the solicitation process, please contact us.
