ATLANTA, Oct. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Georgia Power has
once again been named to Site Selection magazine's Top
Utilities in North America for
Economic Development list. The company has been named to the list
consistently for nearly two decades and more times than any other

recognition of the company's strong partnership with the state of
Georgia in economic development
resulting in an estimated $2.9
billion in projects and more than 20,000 associated jobs for
Georgia.
"We would like to thank Site Selection for recognizing
the role that utilities throughout the country play in local and
state economic development," said Anne
Kaiser, vice president of community and economic development
for Georgia Power. "Keeping the state of Georgia competitive as a top destination for
national and international business is the result not only of our
commitment to make our communities stronger, but also our
collaboration with the state of Georgia and many other organizations every
day."
Site Selection analyzed a variety of factors for this
year's list including corporate end-user project activity and
submitted materials from utilities; website tools and data;
innovative programs and incentives for business, including energy
efficiency and renewable energy programs; and the utility's own
job-creating infrastructure and facility investment trends. The
