Power to the people.
That ’s the job of Georgia’s 41 consumer
owned electric utilities. Getting dependable
electric power to people who live in areas where
they couldn’t get electricity otherwise. That can
mean running lines way out to the one house that’s
twenty miles from nowhere. And it can also mean
bringing electricity —and new industry—into
bustling urban counties. We get around—over
80% of the area of the state, as a matter of fact.
Which means power to one-and-a-quarter million
people. So remember who we are.
