You picked a good company bro, never heard anything bad about GP or Southern Co.

Have worked under Alabama Power numerous times under different jobs(lineman and not) and all experiences were great under them. Good luck ernaehrung004[1].gif

I know we have some that work for PG&E, Mississippi Power, and First Energy and JEA. Also have one or a few from Austin Energy too. We probably have more than that.

From personal experience, I know that CSU ( Colorado Springs Utilities) doesn't have anywhere close to 600,000 customers or meters. Not even if you include the gas division. I'll try and find some evidence. I'm thinkin more like 100,000 customers.

I saw Pennsylvania Electric, Pennsylvania Power Co.(First Energy), and PECO (Exelon). I was wondering if anyone heard of PPL. They may have changed their corporate name. Last I knew they owned out of state commerce?
