WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Southern Co. (SO) affiliate Mississippi Power said Wednesday that after assessing three-quarters of the company's high powered transmission and distribution lines it expects roughly 70% will need to be rebuilt or repaired due to damage sustained during Hurricane Katrina. The utility said it may take up to four weeks to restore electricity to homes and businesses in areas hit hardest by the storm. Mississippi Power expects to immediately begin to work on parts of the electric system in less damaged areas, the company said in a statement.
