Southeastern Power Administration SEPA

Hydropower benefits the Earth as it is a clean renewable energy source. Hydroelectric power is fueled by water from the earth’s water cycle. Water constantly moves through a vast global cycle, in which it evaporates from lakes and oceans, forms clouds, precipitates as rain or snow, then flows back to the sea. The energy of this water cycle, driven by the sun, is tapped most efficiently with hydropower. Southeastern Power Administration would like to thank all those who support the hydropower program! Happy Earth Day 2024!

SEPA DAY – Celebrating 74 Years of Serving Our Customers! On March 6, 2024, SEPA celebrated 74 years of existence by fellowshipping and hearing a presentation from Mrs. Nancy Hill, the guest speaker for the SEPA-day celebration. Southeastern Power Administration (SEPA) was established in 1950 by the Secretary of the Interior to carry out functions assigned to the Secretary by the Flood Control Act of 1944. Later, in 1977, SEPA was transferred to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). SEPA has been responsible for marketing electric power and energy generated at U.S. Army Corps of Engineers project for 74 years! Mrs. Hill, a retired employee of SEPA, served within the Finance and Marketing Division during her 29-year federal career while earning dual degrees in accounting and business management. She recalled working with DOE’s Power Marketing Liaison office during a staff shortage, traveling to Washington, DC to assist for a week at a time in rotation with employees from the other power marketing administrations and of lifelong acquaintances she made across the federal government. During her tenure she was accepted into the 2-year Government Leadership Program and served as program manager for the Federal Women’s Program. Mrs. Hill was considered SEPA’s Oracle financial management system expert. SEPA was asked to send employees to the Alaska Power Administration to help with the closing of the financial accounts when the political decision was made to sell the agency. Mrs. Hill was one of the employees selected and successfully provided her assistance. SEPA thanks Mrs. Hill for her years of dedicated service and for highlighting the exciting opportunities a career with SEPA brings.

As the day comes to a close, and we say our goodbyes, we're looking forward to reconnecting at Waterpower Week in Washington D.C. this March! #hydropower

Have you ever wondered how a river’s journey affects hydroelectric power? A river has a job to complete to answer its call, as represented in Sidney Lanier’s “Song of the Chattahoochee.” The Chattahoochee River has a significant impact on the hydroelectric power Southeastern markets. The river has many uses, with power generation being one of its largest. The United States Corps of Engineers Mobile District generates electric power from four hydroelectric projects through which the Chattahoochee River flows. The four hydroelectric projects associated with Southeastern are Buford Dam, West Point Dam, Walter F. George Lock and Dam, and Jim Woodruff Lock and Dam. In Fiscal Year 2023, these four federal hydroelectric projects generated over 1 Billion kWHs of energy. #SEPAhydro is thankful the Chattahoochee River answers its call when it comes to helping provide the Southeast with hydroelectric power.
