Georgia Power has once again issued an Alert for Thursday, Jan. 18, as extreme cold temperatures and high demand persists across the regional power grid. Peak-hour pricing will remain elevated during the morning hours of 7 a.m. through 12 p.m.

The campus community is asked to shut down non-essential lighting and unplug non-essential equipment especially during the peak period Thursday morning.
