Service restored to 214,000+ customers as crews converge on hardest hit areas such as Clayton and Cornelia;
Company’s generation fleet prepared to meet demand for electricity during severe cold this week
ATLANTA, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Georgia Power has safely restored power to nearly all customers impacted by Winter Storm Fern. The multiday storm brought high winds, freezing rain, snow, and icy conditions to communities across Georgia, leading to a statewide state of emergency. Following the storm, Georgia Power crews, aided by contract crews and teams from partner utilities, worked around the clock to restore power to more than 214,000 customers. As of midday Monday, the majority of remaining power outages related to Winter Storm Fern are in the hardest hit areas of North Georgia such as Clayton and Cornelia, where extensive damage from ice and falling trees caused power outages and access has been a persistent challenge due to icy conditions and impassable roads. Crews are now converging into those areas and, as conditions improve, crews will be better able to restore power quickly for remaining customers.
“We know how difficult it is to be without power, especially when temperatures are below freezing. I am so grateful to our customers for their support and patience as we have worked around the clock to safely and quickly restore power following Winter Storm Fern,” said Kim Greene, chairman, president and CEO of Georgia Power. “I’m also grateful for our employees, who are here for our customers when it matters most. However, our work isn’t done until every customer who can receive power is reconnected, and I know that commitment is shared by the thousands of team members who remain in the field working today.”
Following Winter Storm Fern, severe cold is expected to continue across the state this week with temperatures well below freezing multiple days in a row. Georgia Power is prepared to meet increased demand from customers thanks to its diverse generation fleet including nuclear, natural gas, coal, hydroelectric and renewable sources. Over the last decade, the company has worked with the Georgia Public Service Commission to enhance its generation mix, maintain an appropriate reserve margin, and invest in technology and winterization at power plants to help ensure reliability during extremely cold weather. This constant focus on improvement and investment has helped the company avoid interruptions in service seen in other markets in recent years.
“Just as important as the work of our line crews is the dedication of the teams in our power plants, who are there for customers 24 hours a day,” added Greene. “We make smart investments and prepare for weeks like this because we know reliability matters for Georgians – whether they are enjoying time with family or running a business.”
Georgia Power encourages customers to continue to remain weather aware this week, and check GeorgiaPower.com/Storm for the company’s Outage Map and latest information on storm impacts. The company also recognizes that cold temperatures can lead to increased power use, so Georgia Power company offers a variety of tips and resources to help minimize the impact of the ongoing cold weather on power bills at GeorgiaPower.com/Save.

The NBA honors Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s life and legacy each January, urging fans to live his message that “the time is always right to do what is right” through meaningful civic and community action. With four nationally televised games on NBC and Peacock this year, Comcast NBCUniversal developed meaningful ways for its employees and platforms to uplift communities and inspire the next generation of creators.
Uniting in Service at Covenant House New York
On January 13, more than 120 volunteers from Comcast NBCUniversal, the NBA, the New York Knicks, Realize the Dream, Stand Together, America250, and the NBPA gathered at Covenant House New York for a day centered on youth engagement. The event was the nonprofit’s largest volunteer day ever. Across three activity tracks, volunteers:
- Led a basketball clinic on the Jr. NBA court, emphasizing teamwork and encouragement.
- Assembled kits of essential items filled with everyday items for young people overcoming homelessness.
- Joined a workforce development workshop and community discussion designed to help young people explore future pathways.
Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, and NBA legend John Starks participated in the day’s events and imparted words of encouragement, inspiring attendees to drive positive change today. Their comments emphasized Dr. King’s belief in service as a force for community transformation. Covenant House also honored the King family for its impact on the community by naming a room in their honor.
Inspiring the Next Generation of Storytellers
Leveraging the model of NBCUniversal’s Creative Impact Lab, Atlanta-based nonprofit creative agency RE:IMAGINE received a grant from NBA Foundation to have their apprentices self-produce PSAs that aired across the platforms of Comcast and NBCUniversal. The collaboration capitalized on the timeliness of NBA’s return to NBC and more specifically the Milwaukee Bucks vs. Atlanta Hawks MLK Day matchup.
The PSA features Atlanta Hawks guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker and highlights the collaborative spirit that fuels excellence both on the court and behind the camera. The PSA received a shout out during the Bucks vs. Hawks MLK Day pre‑game broadcast, providing RE:IMAGINE with substantial visibility. Apprentices were also on site throughout game day, capturing content to further document the experience.
A Creative Impact Lab PSA for nonprofit partner Laureus Sport for Good is also returning to Comcast and NBCUniversal platforms. Produced by apprentices from New York-based nonprofit creative agency Reel Works, this PSA communicates Laureus’ mission through the perspective of a young basketball player and feels particularly resonant during NBA coverage.
The More You Know
NBCUniversal’s acclaimed PSA campaign, The More You Know, debuted the first social video in its new mental health series with the NBA. Timed to the Boston Celtics vs. Detroit Pistons game on MLK Day, this PSA features players Jaylen Brown, Cade Cunningham, and Duncan Robinson sharing the importance of prioritizing their mental health as athletes. Stay tuned for more content this year.
Carrying the Legacy Forward
Whether through volunteerism, youth empowerment, or storytelling, this year’s events underscored the power of coming together to serve, learn, and uplift one another, moving closer to Dr. King’s vision of unity and community strength. Comcast NBCUniversal is proud to stand alongside the NBA in honoring Dr. King’s legacy and will continue to lean into aligned organization-wide commitments that strive to make an impact this season and beyond.
