Southern Company delivers reliable and affordable energy to power the American economy.
At Southern Company, our customers are at the center of everything we do. That’s why we’ve stabilized base rates to keep more money customers’ pockets and keeping our energy rates more than 10 percent below the national average. Our customer-first market structure makes this possibility a reality.
By working directly with large energy users like data centers to identify their needs, generate the necessary power to bring them online, and ensure they pay their fair share of costs. America doesn’t need to choose between winning the AI race and keeping energy affordable for hardworking families. At Southern Company, we’re proving both are possible.
We know that energy is critical for American economic growth and national security, which is why Southern Company is building the future of energy right here at home. With 10,000 megawatts of new energy capacity on the horizon, we’re meeting demand, keeping America competitive and delivering safe and reliable energy for the communities who count on us.
We’re planning to invest more than $80 billion over the next five years to strengthen the grid and deploy advanced technologies that make our system smarter. And with every investment, we’re building an energy grid that keeps our country moving forward—reliably, affordably and independently.
Southern Company’s 28,000 employees have demonstrated that when weather is at its worst, we are at our best for our customers. Our teams work around the clock to restore power quickly, reinforce our grid and protect the communities we serve.
