Biggest Georgia power outages since 2014
Statewide outage events recorded by DOE's EAGLE-I system since late 2014, with likely causes from NOAA storm reports
The largest power outage in Georgia since 2014 (Sep 11–16, 2017) left as many as 1,299,830 customers (25.3% of the state) without power at once, driven by Hurricane Irma. The next largest (Sep 27 – Oct 11, 2024) peaked at 1,100,015 customers (Hurricane Helene).
By EAGLE-I's count, Georgia customers averaged about 7 hr 12 min without power per year from 2018 to 2025. The worst year was 2024, at 25 hr 46 min per customer.
Outages peak in October (28% of outage time). Outage time in Georgia has risen recently: about 10 hr 10 min per customer per year in 2022–2025, versus 4 hr 13 min in 2018–2021.

When outages happen
Source: DOE/ORNL EAGLE-I recorded electricity outages, 2014–2025 (CC BY 4.0), with likely causes from the NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database. EAGLE-I coverage was partial before 2018, so averages use 2018–2025. Peak counts are the highest number of customers out at one time.
