Georgia Power provides resources for customers ahead of Winter Storm Enzo

PR Newswire

Company prepared to respond to expected snow and sub-freezing temperatures.


ATLANTA
, Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As Winter Storm Enzo brings sub-freezing temperatures to the state, Georgia Power is encouraging customers to take steps now to prepare and stay safe and warm. Whether exploring new ways to save energy or preparing for severe weather and potential power outages, resources available on GeorgiaPower.com and the company’s social media channels include useful tips for weathering the storm.

Tips to help minimize the impact of cold, winter weather on your power bill include:

  • Optimize heating – Remember, heating can account for 50 percent of a home’s typical winter energy usage. Enhance the efficiency of your heating unit by changing filters monthly, or every three months for pleated filters. Make sure heating vents and return air registers are unobstructed by furniture or drapes.
  • Check your insulation – Keep heat where it belongs by ensuring proper insulation in attics and walls. Replace any cracked or peeling caulk or weatherstripping around doors and windows to save up to 10 percent on energy usage and reduce cold air infiltration into your home.
  • Adjust your thermostat – Set your manual thermostat to 68 degrees or lower. Each degree lower can result in a 3-4% decrease in energy consumption. Or take advantage of programmable thermostat features, if available, to save energy throughout the day.
  • Utilize natural heat – Open blinds, shades on sunny days to naturally warm your home at no cost. Close them at night to minimize the chill from cold windows.

Georgia Power is committed to helping customers save money on their energy bills, explore rate options and get assistance when needed. Find dozens of other energy resources, whether you own a home or rent at www.GeorgiaPower.com/MyEnergy.


Prepared to Respond

Georgia Power is monitoring the potential for severe winter weather and forecasts, including ice and snow in some parts of the state. Crews are prepared to safely and quickly respond to the latest severe weather threat as conditions allow.

More detailed information about factors that may affect our actual results to differ may be found in our filings with the SEC, including in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and other filings made from time to time with the SEC.

We do not undertake, and we expressly disclaim, any duty to update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.

GoDaddy Donates $500K to Support WordPress Community

PR Newswire

Champions Open Source Innovation by Funding Contributors and Upgrading Managed WordPress Hosting Platform


TEMPE, Ariz.
, Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — GoDaddy (NYSE: GDDY) just invested a half-million dollars in the WordPress community through a donation to The WP Community Collective, an initiative focused on funding and empowering WordPress contributors. This monetary support will be directed towards providing financial, operational and promotional support within the greater WordPress community. GoDaddy also recently launched a redesigned Managed WordPress Hosting platform, built with developers in mind.  

The WP Community Collective contribution by GoDaddy, the company that helps small businesses thrive, aims to strengthen open source communities by providing resources for designers, developers and other contributors who make the internet work.  

These efforts help to build the WordPress platform and provide individuals with the freedom to adapt and improve this open source software to suit their needs without limitations. 

“GoDaddy and its employees care deeply about the WordPress community and show it year in, year out in many ways, including contributions of time and funding,” said GoDaddy President of Partners Paul Bindel. “We’re focused on continuing to enhance our industry-leading WordPress platform and hope our investment of $520,000 helps other valued members of the community sustain their contributions throughout 2025 and beyond.” 

GoDaddy Supports Many Critical WordPress Community Projects  

In addition to the December 2024 investment in The WP Community Collective announced today, GoDaddy is sponsoring a handful of open source projects that will elevate WordPress while empowering contributors.  

The open source projects receiving funding, mentorship, and other opportunities from GoDaddy include:  


  • PHP Coding Standards
     – GoDaddy gave $12,000 in total in 2024 to support PHP code quality tools (Open Collective).

  • PHP Foundation
     – GoDaddy donated $24,000 in December 2024 to help sustain PHP, the language powering much of the internet.

  • World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
     – GoDaddy donated $40,000 in December 2024 to champion open web standards through the W3C.

  • WP Accessibility Meetup
     – GoDaddy sponsors live captions for the group’s monthly meetings.

  • Five for the Future
     – Currently, GoDaddy sponsors 46 contributors, across 17 teams, through this program. The company ranks as the second-largest contributor of people and is ranked third in number of pledged hours per week at 255 hours.

“These monetary contributions to the WordPress community, alongside our team’s involvement through contributions, showcase how vital we believe WordPress is to the web,” continued Bindel. “We believe that anyone should be able to participate, contribute and be involved in propelling the WordPress project forward.”  

GoDaddy Redesigns Managed WordPress Product with Developers in Mind 

In tandem with its open source investments and goals to provide resources, GoDaddy has enhanced the WordPress experience by launching a newly optimized Managed WordPress Hosting platform. It serves over 80 billion requests per month with more than three petabytes of data and gives customers up to two times faster performance than other WordPress hosting providers* and more control of their WordPress site, with advanced security and isolation at every level. 

Built with WordPress developers in mind, the platform now delivers the power of a virtual private server (VPS) with the simplicity and reliability of Managed WordPress.  

Benefits of the updated platform include:  

  • Seamless scaling – Handle traffic surges with vertical scaling up to 12 cores.
  • Strong isolation – Help protect a site with containerized services and nano-segmentation.
  • Multi-layer security - Stay ahead of threats with hardened containers and immutable code.
  • Real-time observability – Monitor site health and performance through upcoming per-site dashboards.

CELEBRITY CRUISES LAUNCHES ‘DREAM MAKERS,’ A FIRST OF ITS KIND INVITATION FOR TRAVELERS TO DREAM UP THEIR PERFECT VACATION ON CELEBRITY XCEL

PR Newswire

In an industry first, cruisers will help make key decisions across culinary, entertainment and interior design to finalize Celebrity Xcel, the cruise line’s newest billion-dollar ship. 


MIAMI
, Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Celebrity Cruises is inviting vacationers worldwide to create their dream vacation experience on Celebrity Xcel® with Xcel ‘Dream MakersSM.’ Open to all who wish to join, this global community will test, try and vote on new experiences. Their selections will launch on Celebrity Xcel in November 2025 for vacationers to enjoy, further elevating the fifth ship in the cruise line’s award-winning Edge® Series into a class of its own.

CELEBRITY CRUISES LAUNCHES ‘DREAM MAKERS,’ FIRST OF ITS KIND INVITATION FOR TRAVELERS TO DREAM UP THEIR PERFECT VACATION

“We want to ensure our guests love our products and experiences, so involving them in the process to perfect Celebrity Xcel was a great way to achieve this,” shares Michael Scheiner, chief marketing and product officer of Celebrity Cruises. “Celebrity Cruises is known for ground-breaking innovation in ship design and experiences unlike any other at sea, when Xcel launches guests won’t have just found their happy place, they’ll have helped us build it.”

In an industry first, Dream Makers will have the final say across key elements of the vacation experience to be offered on Celebrity Xcel when she sets sail. Through online polls and one-of-a-kind experiential in-person events, the public will perfect the ship’s design, culinary and entertainment offerings.

Dream Makers will put their design, experiential and foodie skills to the test on Celebrity’s newest ship, making decisions across key spaces, including the ship’s seven, new, yet-to-be-revealed experiences. Dream Makers will make their mark on the Celebrity Xcel by:

  • Choosing textiles, managing interior design elements and curating service offerings;
  • Picking their favorite dishes and beverages, choosing table settings and shaping dining concepts; and
  • Providing input on headline shows, curate props and costumes, select playlists and partake in selections to appoint pivotal entertainment positions onboard.

With the help of Dream Makers, Celebrity Xcel will push the boundaries of leisure travel. The ship reached a major milestone on January 18, floating out of dry dock at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France. The float out ceremony celebrated the completion of the ship’s exterior, bringing Celebrity Xcel one step closer to welcoming guests. The innovative ship will also advance Royal Caribbean Group’s decades-long commitment to sustaining the planet with the first tri-fuel capable engine, representing an important steppingstone on the company’s journey to Destination Net Zero, its vision for net-zero emissions by 2050.

Celebrity Xcel is sailing her inaugural season from Fort Lauderdale, offering seven-night itineraries alternating between the Bahamas, Mexico, Cayman Islands, Puerto Plata, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten. In Summer 2026, Celebrity Xcel will set sail on her inaugural European season where guests can immerse themselves in the Mediterranean like never before on seven-to 11-night journeys out of Barcelona and Athens, including all new overnight stays in Madeira, Portugal.

Those interested in joining Xcel ‘Dream Makers’ can learn more at www.celebritycruises.com/xceldreammakers.
