Southern Company
A note from David Ratcliffe, CEO

Electricity brings comfort and security to people everywhere. It is the backbone of the world economy, as vital and necessary as the air we breathe and the water we drink. Our more than 25,000 employees are proud to be responsible for the critical infrastructure that generates and distributes reliable electric service to 4.3 million customers in the southeastern United States. To us, electricity is both our business and our responsibility.

It is our business to provide value to shareholders; it is our responsibility to provide reliable energy to customers. It is our business to generate affordable power; it is our responsibility to keep our environment clean. It is our business to compete and serve; it is our responsibility to work ethically and help communities grow. Please read about our progress and the challenges we face. We welcome your questions and suggestions.
