ATLANTA, May 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Georgia Power
is encouraging customers to go paperless with the first-ever 2017
Paperless Billing Giveaway. The company is giving away nine
$250 Amazon.com gift cards throughout
the year by randomly selecting three customers who enroll in
Paperless Billing each quarter: April-June, July-September and
October-December. Customers should sign up for Paperless Billing
early at www.georgiapower.com/paperlessoffer to increase chances of
winning.*
More than 750,000 people, or 30 percent of all Georgia Power
customers, have enrolled in the Paperless Billing program reducing
the amount of paper used to print bills by an estimated 1.5 million
pages each year. In addition to reducing paper clutter, going
paperless increases convenience with monthly email or text message
bill reminders and eliminates the needs for stamps and mailing
payments.
"Georgia Power customers are increasingly using digital tools
and technology to connect with the company and manage their
accounts," said Louise Scott, vice
president of customer service for Georgia Power. "Customizable
programs like Paperless Billing, along with online tools like My
Power Usage at GeorgiaPower.com, help empower our customers to
easily pay their bills and make informed decisions about their
energy use."
The company constantly looks for ways to evolve how we serve our
customers while also making it as easy as possible for them to do
business with us. In 2016, Georgia Power opened its Social Media
Center in Atlanta to meet the
increasing demand for social media engagement and enhance customer
service and communication on platforms such as Facebook and
Twitter. Additionally, more than 50 percent of Georgia Power
customers currently pay their bill electronically and the company
offers multiple electronic services for customers, including free
Billing Alerts, automatic payments, and easy payment online at
GeorgiaPower.com or through the Georgia Power Mobile App. To learn
