Georgia Power: Help that adapts to your needs

While the cost of living has certainly gotten higher in the past few decades, you might not know it, but our energy industry is helping to shine a light on our economy.

According to the BBC, inflation, after reaching a four-decade high, dropped in the last year from an impressive 9.1% to 3% in June.

And not only that, but Wendy Edelberg, director of The Hamilton Project and senior fellow in Economic Studies at the Brookings Institution research center, said, «Part of the explanation for the relative success of the U.S. in reducing inflation is the role of energy prices.»

The impact of energy affects the overall economy as well as individuals, making it even more important to have resources to save energy at home, which translate into savings on electricity bills.

If you’re looking for ways to save money on energy and other necessities, Georgia Power is your ally for savings and for finding the help you need.
