Utility Provider: Georgia Power (Savannah metro), Coastal EMC (surrounding areas)
Climate Considerations: Coastal salt air requires corrosion-resistant materials (stainless steel, PVC-coated conduit) within 1 mile of the coast. Hurricane risk drives wind-load-resistant installation methods. High humidity affects switchgear and panelboard performance. High water table in coastal areas affects underground work.
