 Water Gas and Light Commission serves approximately 37,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers with low cost electric power. WG&L receives an allocation of hydroelectric power through SEPA (Southeastern Power Administration) and the remaining demand is supplied by MEAG (Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia) through Georgia's Integrated Transmission System.
WG&L electric power system has approximately 600 miles of power lines. Currently the Light department employs 65 people, who build substations (currently there are 11); installs and maintains electric lines and security lights; trims vegetation obstructing lines. The department also installs and maintains Albany's street lights.
It is common to see the department working at odd hours and days in order to minimize disruption of power to customers. Our customers come first.
The Light crew is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for power outages.
