Fortune Gives High Marks To Gulf Power, Alabama Power
March 4, 2011
Fortune has ranked Gulf Power, Alabama Power and other subsidiaries of Southern Company were ranked number one in the electric and gas utility sector of the magazine’s 2011 list of the “Worlds Most Admired Companies” released Thursday.
Although it shares the top pot with NextEra Energy, Southern Company — which includes Mississippi Power, Alabama Power, Georgia Power and Gulf Power — was ranked first in the utility industry in six of the nine categories on which the survey was based.
Southern Company has ranked number one four times since 2002 in the Fortune survey and has been in the top five on four other occasions.
“We are totally committed to keeping our customers at the center of our business,” said Gulf Power President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Crosswhite. “This honor is a testament to what our employees do every day.”
The survey included more than 600 companies, which were judged on nine criteria – innovation, people management, use of corporate assets, social responsibility, quality of management, financial soundness, long-term investment, global competitiveness and quality of products and services.
Southern Company was ranked first in its industry in people management, use of corporate assets, quality of management, financial soundness, long-term investment and quality of products and services.
“Being a good value to our customers is part of our mission and therefore part of everything we do,” said Crosswhite. “Our success rests in their complete satisfaction and that’s what we work toward every day.”

Congratulations to Gulf Power . Your integrity comes shining through.
Thanks also to all your hard working employees who make good things happen everyday.
I wonder how they’d rank if “cost” was a criteria for evaluation?
