Throughout the holiday season, Georgia Power reminds customers that focusing on energy efficiency can help them save money and energy even as they celebrate. In addition to shopping for energy-saving products on the Georgia Power Marketplace, simple tips for the holidays include switching to energy efficient LED decorations, which use more than 50 percent less energy than traditional decoration, and putting decorations on a timer to ensure they're only on when people are home, or awake, to enjoy them.

The company encourages customers to stay safe around electricity every day, and especially when decorating for the holidays. Holiday decorators should remember to follow all product safety instructions, exercise caution around power lines and when using ladders and watch for damaged cords and overloaded outlets.
