Electricity powers our quality of life, and energy demand has increased across the board. The average U.S. household uses more air conditioning, appliances, and consumer electronics than ever before. Most homes contain 10 or more internet-connected devices—from laptops and thermostats to TVs and vacuum cleaners!  

Typically, when demand goes up for a commodity, price follows the same trend. However, that’s not true with electricity. Over the past five years, the cost of rent has increased by 3.4 percent, medical care increased 2.8 percent, and education increased 2.2 percent. However, the cost of electricity only increased one percent. Considering all the ways we depend on electricity, it remains a great value.

At Central Georgia EMC (CGEMC), part of our mission is to pass this value to our members. For the last nine years, our rates have remained among the lowest in the state. And we will keep working hard to power your life reliably and affordably. After all, electricity is about more than lights... it's about living!
