How does Georgia Power decide exactly where to locate new substations and power lines?
A Georgia Power site selection committee made up of engineers, land experts and other personnel chooses the best practical site for a substation and route for distribution and/or transmission lines. There are many considerations used in the study when identifying land for a substation. During the process of selecting a site or route, Georgia Power does not know the property owners’ names. This ensures that we select routes and sites without bias to any individual property owner.
