Alabama Power was at work restoring electricity from fierce windstorms on opposite ends of the continent last year, and those efforts won the company two Emergency Assistance Awards from the Edison Electric Institute (EEI).

The awards come in the wake of winning the same award last year for helping sister company Georgia Power restore electricity twice in 2016 – from back-to-back hurricanes Hermine and Matthew.

“The work of Alabama Power’s crews to restore power to customers impacted by the October wind storm in Massachusetts is a terrific example of mutual assistance in action and our industry’s commitment to serving our customers,” said EEI President Tom Kuhn.Emergency Assistance Awards are given to EEI member companies to recognize their response helping other companies in power restoration efforts after service has been disrupted by severe weather or other natural events.
