Coal for Generating Plants

The Fuel Services organization acts on behalf of Southern Company operating subsidiaries, procuring fuel for generating plants and administering fuel delivery programs.

We operate in two groups:

  • Planning and Procurement arranges the purchase of coal on a long-term (contract) or short-term (spot) basis.
  • The Production Support Department coordinates the delivery of fuel to generating plants, assures the quality of the fuel delivered, and manages a large fleet of railcars.
