Georgia Power has issued a statement regarding the recent outages:

Over the last 24 hours, we have been working on underground network issues impacting service in the medical district in Augusta. Working closely with several large customers, we have been able to make repairs and reroute service quickly and minimizing service interruption. Even with this effort, a small number of customers have experienced service interruption during equipment isolation and replacement efforts – we appreciate their patience and apologize for the inconvenience. We continue to work safely and as quickly as possible to address any outages in the Augusta medical district and we anticipate that all current outage restoration will be complete by noon today, Monday, August 7.
