SAVINGS PASSED ALONG TO MEMBERS Cobb EMC passed along yet another credit to bring overall savings and help lower summer bills for our members! In July, a 1.6 cents credit in the Wholesale Power Adjustment (WPA) was applied to members’ electric bills. For an average household using 1,000 kilowatt hours, Cobb EMC residential members could see a total savings of $16! Now, that’s the power of membership!

Beat the peak for even more savings! By lowering your energy use during peak conservation hours you can help your co-op reduce how much it pays for electricity and, in turn, help keep rates low. Peak conservation hours take place on certain days in the months of June through September from 2 to 7 p.m. when Cobb EMC’s demand peaks. This usually occurs on weekdays when we experience high weather temperatures across the region. How will you know when to beat the peak? We’ll notify you when we’re experiencing peak conservation hours.
