A
commitment to a growing region
This is where we want to be. Weve made a commitment
to the Southeast. It has a strong economy with some of the
nations highest rates of job growth, new housing, and
rising incomes. That translates into more demand for energy,
and were here to meet the regions needs. Weve
made a commitment to be a secure, reliable source of energy
for the Southeast, and customers here know they can count
on Southern Company. Weve been here for generations,
with a track record of providing reliable electricity at low
prices. We are moving forward to further strengthen our relationship
and extend our reach within the region we know best.
Already
strong
Our regulated business in the Southeast is the solid foundation
for everything we do. Thats how weve earned our
customers trust. Our system includes more than 26,000
miles of transmission lines and 29,000 megawatts of regulated
generation. Our facilities are a model of reliability, efficiency,
and dependability. Weve planned well for future energy
needs, too. This region is growing strong. Were strong
enough to serve it.
Partners
in progress
Weve worked in partnership with policymakers to make
sure our region has the facilities that are necessary to provide
the power our customers need. And by working as partners to
plan for the future, weve maintained a diverse mix of
fuel sources for generation. So when the price of one fuel
goes up, the effect on our customers is moderated.
We have a tradition of being an active corporate citizen wherever
we do business. In towns big and small across our Southeast
service area, we strive to have a positive impact on the lives
of the communities we serve. We are partners in local economic
development, educational, and environmental efforts. Its
something that sets Southern Company apart from the competition.
When communities have healthy growth, everyone wins.
