Economic Development
Just as Cobb EMC provided electricity since 1938 to rural areas we continue to serve, support and grow the communities in which we live and work.
Cobb EMC serves some of the area's leading office, retail, business and manufacturing firms. Since the Georgia Legislature passed the Georgia Territorial Electric Service Act (GTESA) in 1973, large power consumers with connected loads of 900 kilowatts or greater have been able to choose their power supplier. Notable companies who have chosen Cobb EMC include:
- Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre

We are proud that we are able to offer large power prospects sophisticated technology and individual attention such as site-specific demographic profile information, site-planning and more. Cobb EMC delivers economical and reliable service through our high tech power control center, computerized supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, and automated mapping.
By providing reliable electric service at competitive rates to new businesses and industries locating in our area we help our communities to grow and prosper.
