Alabama Power

What a difference 24 hours can make.
Over the weekend, much of Alabama felt like spring. Today, crews worked through freezing temperatures, sleet, rain and everything in between while continuing restoration after last night’s storms.

It’s been a long day across the state, and progress continues as teams worked in some tough conditions and in areas that take extra time to reach safely.
We know outages are frustrating, especially when the weather keeps changing, and we appreciate your patience as crews work to get everyone back on.

Our goal remains to restore service to everyone who can safely take power tonight, and crews will continue working until that work is done.
