Planning for a Clean Energy Future
Cobb EMC is a leader in sustainability, and we’ve worked hard to strengthen our own operations while encouraging members to participate in a clean energy future. This year, we have expanded our solar energy portfolio up to 149 megawatts (MWAC) with projects in Clay County, Ga.
Taking Care Of The Environment
In all that we do to deliver reliable power, we also work to take care of our environment. We have set goals to reduce our carbon emissions and increase our renewable energy portfolio. Our steps toward sustainability include rooftop solar, an interactive Solar Flower Garden, battery storage and a microgrid – all on our campus. Our microgrid allows us to deploy energy when members need it most and strengthens our resiliency.
While we work toward a more sustainable future, our focus is on ensuring that we reach our goals without passing additional costs on to our members.
Cobb EMC’s Clean Energy Goals
• Reduce carbon emissions by 75%: We will reduce the carbon in our energy mix and reach our clean energy goals by 2030 while keeping rates low for our members.
• Increase renewable energy portfolio by 200%: We will achieve this goal by using our long-term power supply strategy, ensuring that we have an adequate and diversified portfolio to support the energy needs of the future.
