Our Approach to Protecting Power Costs

Delivering on our promise to provide affordable, reliable and safe electricity requires purposeful planning with a disciplined focus on performance and financial strength and stability. We continue to work strategically with our wholesale power providers to keep the price of power low for members. Since 2021, Cobb EMC protected members from higher rates by absorbing more than $27 million in rising wholesale power costs with help from Gas South dividends. We plan carefully to provide competitive rates now and in the future.

Enriched Program And Service Offerings

Creating value for our members goes beyond the power bill. In working directly with our members through a series of focus groups, we identified opportunities to improve our service experiences.

Cobb EMC has continued to offer value-added programs to members including:

• HVAC Tuneup Discount

• Energy Network Rebates

• Free App

• Free Events

• 9 Ways to Pay

• No Credit Card Fees

A Rate For Everyone

This year, we upgraded our rate tool to provide an easier way for members to determine the rate that best fits their unique energy use and budget. The Rate Selection Tool allows members to:

• Estimate how much energy may be consumed based on home size

• Learn key terms about energy use

• See a side-by-side comparison of all rates

• Get a sample bill amount

Delivering More Value For Members

Gas South and Cobb EMC work together to save you money. As a member, Gas South offers special savings just for you on natural gas service, including no deposit, no connection fee and a permanent discount on everyday low rates.

And they don’t stop at savings. As part of Gas South’s purpose to “Be A Fuel For Good,” the company pledges 5% of its annual profits to support children in need, which means you’re getting service that you can feel good about.

Gas South, Cobb EMC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, helps the co-op remain financially strong by returning its profits, which in turn helps to keep electric rates low and reliability solid.

Gas South provides natural gas service to more than 425,000 residential, commercial, industrial and wholesale customers throughout the Southeast.
