Georgia Electric Cooperatives Offer Customers Cooperative Solar Program
Green Power EMC and the electric cooperatives have developed a program giving customers the opportunity to purchase solar power from off-site solar facilities and avoid the costs and complications of rooftop solar panels. Customers can subscribe to blocks of solar energy and receive a credit on their energy bill from such solar facilities. Jeff Pratt, CEO of Green Power EMC, has stated that the Cooperative Solar program has increased Georgia electric cooperative solar capacity from 7.5 megawatts to 240 megawatts.
