Dalton Utilities Electric Facilities

The Dalton Utilities electricity that powers your business comes from three sources. First, we own partial interests in two nuclear and two coal-fired power plants. Secondly, we purchase hydroelectric power from the Southeastern Power Administration (SEPA). Thirdly, we purchase blocks of power from Southern Wholesale Energy to meet peak demand.

As one of the joint owners of the Georgia Integrated Transmission System, Dalton Utilities has access to a huge network of electrical transmission lines that run throughout the State of Georgia. In addition to our nine substations, 350 miles of distribution lines delivers electricity safely and reliably to your business.

All of this ensures a ready supply of reliable electric energy to keep your business operations running smoothly.
