Our Lakes and Waterways
Alabama Power manages 14 hydro facilities on the Coosa, Tallapoosa and Black Warrior rivers that together help form some of the most vibrant and diverse land and recreational sites in the Southeast. Our hydroelectric plants provide about 6 percent of the company’s power generation. The dams that form these lakes impound more than 157,000 acres of water and provide more than 3,500 miles of shoreline for the use and enjoyment of the public.
