In this episode of Circuit Cast, host Joshua Peacock sits down with veteran Georgia Power project manager Rusty Thompson to explore how Georgia Power is strengthening and modernizing the electric grid across Savannah and Coastal Georgia. The conversation covers the region’s electric infrastructure history, the construction of the new Big Ogeechee substation, and the critical role transmission upgrades play in supporting growth, improving reliability, and preparing for severe weather. Rusty also shares how advanced planning, system modeling, grid automation, and storm-hardening investments are helping Georgia Power build a more resilient energy network for the future while continuing to serve customers safely and reliably.
