Georgia History & Power: A Shocking Educational Partnership Revealed!
Georgia Power is electrifying education! The company has partnered with Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) and the Georgia Historical Society (GHS) to relaunch "Today in Georgia History," an Emmy award-winning educational series. This initiative aims to engage and educate Georgians on their state's rich history, launching this month and perfectly timed for the new school year and the 250th anniversary of the United States.
Reviving a Classic: "Today in Georgia History"
Originally introduced in 2011, "Today in Georgia History" features 365 episodes, each highlighting a person or historical event associated with a specific day of the year. The series will be broadcast across GPB's statewide network, reaching nine television stations and 21 radio stations, making it accessible to a wide audience.
A Commitment to Education
Georgia Power's involvement extends beyond this partnership. The company, through the Georgia Power Foundation, has consistently supported educational initiatives across the state. This commitment aligns with their long-standing principle, coined in 1927 by President Preston Arkwright: "A Citizen Wherever We Serve."
Modernization Efforts Underway
Furthermore, Georgia Power is actively modernizing its hydroelectric facilities to ensure a reliable and sustainable energy future for the state. Upgrades are underway at various plants, including Tallulah, Yonah, and Bartlett’s Ferry. These projects involve refurbishing turbines, generators, and control systems to extend the lifespan of these facilities and ensure compliance with federal regulations.
Looking Ahead
The revitalization of "Today in Georgia History" and the ongoing modernization of Georgia Power's infrastructure demonstrate a commitment to both preserving the state's heritage and powering its future. These initiatives promise to provide valuable educational resources and reliable energy for generations to come.
