Historical outage patterns in Georgia

Federal outage records (EAGLE-I, kept by the U.S. Department of Energy) contain 56,090 county-level outage records (200+ customers at peak) in Georgia between 2014 and 2025 for the 158 counties the federal record covers — 426 of them major events of 10,000+ customers. Half were restored within about 2.5 hr, and county-level outages here have been most common in summer (35% of all records). The busiest year on record was 2025.

Largest single-county outage on record: ~178,832 customers out in Fulton County in October 2020, restored after about 3 days.

Months that hit the widest area at once — these rank among the three largest outages ever recorded in the most counties: September 2017 (76 counties), September 2024 (67 counties), October 2018 (34 counties).

Where restoration has historically taken longest: Fulton County (~6.8 hr typical), DeKalb County (~6 hr typical), Chatham County (~4.7 hr typical) — against ~2.5 hr statewide.

Statewide figures aggregate the same per-county records shown on each county page below; the statewide restoration figure is the typical (middle) value across the per-county typical times, weighted by how many records each county has. A county appears in a “widest area” month when that month produced one of its three largest recorded outages.

Common questions

How do I check power outages in Georgia?

This page lists live outage status for every county in Georgia, updated about every 15 minutes from the federal government's public county outage data (ODIN) and National Weather Service alerts, combined with utilities' own live data where we track them. Open any county for its restoration outlook, or search your ZIP or address for the most specific view.

Which utilities serve Georgia?

Electric utilities we track in Georgia include Georgia Power, Altamaha EMC (GA), Amicalola EMC (GA), Central Georgia EMC (GA) and others. Each restores its own service area — report an outage to your serving utility so crews can be dispatched.

When will power be restored in Georgia?

Restoration depends on the cause and scale of each outage, so it varies by county and utility. For each affected area with enough trend data we publish an independent restoration estimate — from the live outage count, the recovery rate, and weather — shown even before the utility posts an official time; very small or brand-new outages say so instead of guessing. Open an area above for its outlook.

How accurate are the estimates?

Every estimate is later graded against when the tracked outage was substantially restored (~90% of customers back), and the track record is published on our accuracy page. Statewide totals combine the federal county-by-county tally with utilities' own live outage data, so this page and the live map always show the same numbers.
