5/28/24 @ 7:28 pm | CGEMC and regional utilities are experiencing a temporary peak in electricity use, and CGEMC is asking customers to do everything they can to reduce their use. Peak energy use often results from unique circumstances, such as prolonged periods of extreme weather or excessive transmission constraints. Working together, we can substantially reduce the economic impact of these circumstances.

About Us

What is a Cooperative?

  • A Cooperative is a voluntary contractual organization of persons having a mutual ownership interest in providing themselves a needed service on a non-profit basis.

  • A Cooperative is democratic member control which implies the principle of an open, voluntary membership with control exercised on the basis of one vote per customer-owner rather than multiple votes according to capital investment in the organization.

  • A Cooperative operates on a cost of doing business basis. This is the fundamental reason for co-op existence. We meet the needs of the people at the lowest practicable net cost.

As the explanation of a Cooperative implies, Central Georgia Electric Membership Corporation receives purpose and legitimacy from two different directions. First, the State of Georgia passed laws which allow Central Georgia EMC to incorporate as a Cooperative. This state activity provided the charter which enabled the customer-owners to form Central Georgia Electric Membership Corporation. Second, the Board of Directors exercises democratic control, as authorized by the membership. Every year, customer-owners elect 2-3 directors for three-year terms. Customer-owners participate in major decisions and run the corporation through the Board of Directors. Central Georgia EMC customer-owners elect directors at the Annual Meeting, which is usually held the first Wednesday of each August.

You are the cooperative!
