Yes, Georgia Power requires a wiring inspection certificate from the local city or county permitting agency for turning or reestablishing power on an existing pole, especially if the service has been off for a certain period of time or if it involves new installation. Be sure to contact your local city or county permitting office for specific procedures and requirements. After receiving this certificate, you can then coordinate with Georgia Power for service initiation. Safety is a priority, and ensuring wiring meets current codes can prevent potential electrical incidents.

Problems like extreme weather conditions, equipment failure, or significant damage to infrastructure may take longer to address. It's important to note that Georgia Power prioritizes critical services like hospitals and police stations. They also work on repairs that will restore power to the largest number of customers first. However, they aim to restore power as quickly and safely as possible. Please be patient and rest assured they're doing their best to get your power back on.

There could be a few reasons for this. It's possible that the payment hasn't been fully processed yet. Depending on the method used, payments can take a few days to process. It could also be a case of your latest bill being issued just after your payment was made, which would still show as outstanding. Lastly, if your payment was less than the total amount due, the remaining balance will still show as owed. Please ensure you've waited a few days for processing or check if your payment fully covered your bill. If it's neither situation, you may need to discuss the issue directly with Georgia Power.
