The Alabama Power Service Organization includes more than 4,000 Alabama Power, Southern Nuclear and Southern Company employees and their families who give their time to help improve communities. Last year, in honor of Alabama Power’s centennial, the organization contributed more than 100,000 hours to worthy projects across Alabama.
Supporting education is one of the priorities of Alabama Power. In recent years, the company has worked closely with educators to help children and teachers in the classroom through a variety of initiatives and programs. The Alabama Power Foundation also supports education by providing grants to students, teachers, colleges and universities, and other educational institutions.
