Just wanted to share a positive experience for once. Georgia Power's commercial account portal lets authorized users download detailed PDF invoices going back 24 months plus export usage and demand data to CSV. Once my client added me as an authorized user I had everything I needed within an hour. If all utilities were this easy my data collection phase would take days instead of weeks.
Getting data from Georgia Power — they have a great commercial portal
Georgia Power is one of the better ones for sure. I work a lot of accounts in the Atlanta metro and their portal is my favorite. The CSV export is especially useful because you can drop it straight into your analysis spreadsheet without manual data entry. Only downside is the portal doesn't show rider and surcharge breakdowns — for those I still need the actual PDF invoice.
Alabama Power is the same parent company (Southern Company) and their portal is decent too, though not quite as good as Georgia Power's. Mississippi Power is lagging behind both of them. It seems like each Southern Company subsidiary invests differently in their online tools even though they share a corporate parent.
Savannah Electric (now part of Georgia Power after the merger) had a terrible portal before the transition. Since they moved to Georgia Power's system it's been great. Just wanted to confirm for anyone working coastal Georgia accounts — use the Georgia Power portal now, not the old Savannah Electric login.
