Grid Investment
Mississippi Power continuously invests in improvements to build and maintain a safer, stronger and more reliable power grid.
We’re working to incorporate smart grid technologies and self-healing networks that can automatically isolate problems and restore service to affected areas in a matter of seconds, to get the lights back on faster for our customers.

Storm Hardening & Restoration
Our service territory is prone to impacts from Mother Nature, including thunderstorms, tornadoes and hurricanes. To ensure we are prepared in the event of a storm, we are hardening our infrastructure, making physical changes to reduce the impact from storm damage due to high winds, flooding and falling trees.
By elevating substations in flood-prone areas and installing additional automated devices on the system, we are making our grid less susceptible to impacts from storms, which will reduce the length of customer outages following a storm event.
Stronger System, Shorter Outages
