Georgia Power President Talks Economy, Education, Energy
Tuesday, February 4th, 2014
With every segment of the economy touched by electricity, it's easy for Paul Bowers, Georgia Power president and chief executive officer, to gauge the economy. The economy, education and energy were key points Bowers addressed at the Lanier-Forsyth Rotary Club meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 28. At Georgia Power, Bowers has a unique vantage point.
"We see every segment of the market; we see what is happening in residential, commercial and industrial segment," he said. The industrial segment includes steel, chemical and paper industries, plus Bowers serves in the federal bank's energy council and he is constantly updated on what's happening in the economy.
For a perspective, Bowers said that from 2000 to 2008, Georgia Power on average added 45,000 customers per year.
