Strong storms in April have added to the above-average rainfall in Alabama this year. Those rains boosted the amount of low-cost, renewable hydro energy going to serve Alabama Power customers.

“This period has been record-setting for rainfall in many areas of our state, particularly the rains we experienced in February,” said Alan Peeples, Alabama Power Reservoir Management manager.

Since Jan. 1, Alabama statewide has received an average 33 inches of rainfall, compared to a normal of around 19 inches. More than 12 inches fell across the state in February alone.
