What drives outage time in Georgia
About 83% of Georgia’s 2024 outage time came from major events, so the busiest weeks for Georgia crews and contractors are also the hardest to plan. That makes storm documentation, crew tracking, and fast closeout the work that protects margin in Georgia.
Outage time in Georgia jumped from 349.2 minutes in 2023 to 1,229.1 minutes in 2024, roughly 4 times higher, a reminder that one hard season can reset Georgia’s numbers. Even without major events, Georgia customers averaged 212.3 minutes of outage time in 2024, above the U.S. figure of 126 minutes, so routine reliability work in Georgia deserves close measurement too. Crews working in Georgia also contend with hurricanes and tropical storms, strong summer thunderstorms, and the flooding that follows them.

How an engagement starts
We start with your last major event in Georgia: how crews, hours, and documentation moved from the field to the invoice, and where the delays piled up.
From there we build the first piece, often a storm dashboard or a closeout checklist, around the way your Georgia teams already work. TAKKEL’s leadership comes from power and storm operations, so the conversation starts in your vocabulary. See how we work.
Frequently asked questions
How long were Georgia customers without power in 2024?
EIA data shows Georgia customers averaged 1,229.1 minutes without power in 2024, about 20.5 hours, including major events. That compares with 349.2 minutes in Georgia in 2023 and a U.S. average of 611.3 minutes in 2024. Excluding major events, the Georgia figure was 212.3 minutes.
What share of Georgia outage time came from major events?
About 83% of Georgia’s 2024 outage minutes came from major events, based on EIA figures with and without them (1,229.1 versus 212.3 minutes). In Georgia, that makes storm season the main driver of crew workload, documentation volume, and billing risk.

What weather and terrain challenges affect utility work in Georgia?
Utility crews in Georgia deal with hurricanes and tropical storms, strong summer thunderstorms, and the flooding that follows them. Those conditions shape how Georgia utilities and contractors plan staffing, stage equipment, and document work. The EIA figures above show how much of that risk became customer outage time that year.
