We also own and operate Lake Blackshear, an 8,700 acre reservoir stretching 20 miles long on the Flint River which provides hydroelectric power to our customers. The Power Commission is dedicated to providing excellent customer service and reliable, cost-effective power to our customers. Our service area covers approximately 330 square miles with an estimated population of 23,000.
Hurricane Sally – Updated 9/17/2020 at 11:40 AM
The Southeast River Forecast Center made a large revision downward in their forecast of river flows in the Flint River. The previous forecast was for a peak flow of 55,000 cfs on Monday. The revised forecast just released calls for a peak flow of 20.1 ft (40,000 cfs).
We currently have 5 ½ gates open and are 2.6 feet below normal full pool.
We plan to maintain that lake level through today, monitor the forecast and revisit the lake level issue tonight or tomorrow morning.
The most recent revision was large and we want to make sure there isn’t a revision upwards.
To maintain lake level at its present level we’ll be closing some of the gates and reducing outflow considerably.
We foresee no problems on the lake.
Lake Drawdown
The Crisp County Power Commission lowers Lake Blackshear below normal pool for about six weeks every other year to aid in the control of nuisance vegetation in the Lake and to give homeowners an opportunity to work on piers and seawalls. The next scheduled drawdown will begin November 1, 2020. Please click here for more information.

NEW IVR PHONE SYSTEM 11/18/19!
We are introducing our new Integrated Voice Response system (IVR) on November 18th! The new IVR system integrates with our Outage Management System (OMS) to help us provide faster, more accurate detection and analysis of service interruptions which will help us respond faster to both individual outages and system-wide disturbances. Outages reported by the IVR system are logged into the OMS system in real-time. In addition – coming soon! – the new IVR system will be able to notify customers if the OMS system is aware of their outage and provide customers with an estimated time of restoration.
The new IVR phone system has a high capacity to handle multiple outage calls so we encourage all customers with an outage to report their outage using this new, easy-to-use system.
The new IVR system uses caller id to look up customer account information so please verify the phone number printed on your bill is accurate. Customers can change their phone number using our online portal, our mobile app, or by calling our Customer Service Department at 229-273-3811.
