Green power is generated by reclaiming methane gas from landfills in Fayette and Taylor counties and from Tallassee Shoals Low Impact Hydro Project located on the Middle Oconee River.
The Power generated by these renewable sources offsets power that would otherwise be generated by traditional sources.
The energy is available on a first-come, first-served basis to Cobb EMC members in blocks of 150 kilowatt hours (kWh) per month at an additional cost of $5.00 per block purchased. Green power block payments are in addition to your established rate. No contract is required and you may cancel at any time.

5. Will my rates change over time?
The existing rate structure for your Cobb EMC Green Power service is presently fixed and determined by Board action. Many factors control this cost however we feel it will only change when contract conditions change or new, more costly, renewable resources are added to the program and we must adjust the price to account for the increased price of the new generation.
