Keeping the Lights On
A Commitment to Reliability in a Growing Region
by Michael Wasson, CEO
Reliability: It’s a word we toss around easily, but what does it truly mean for your power company? At Canoochee EMC, it’s more than just a metric—it’s a promise.
We’re dedicated to providing you, our valued customers, with consistent, affordable electricity while maintaining exceptional service and safety.
Now, let’s be honest: Recent outages, especially in booming areas like north Bryan and Chatham counties, haven’t reflected this promise as well as we’d like. Rapid development and increased traffic have played a major role, but we’re not throwing in the towel.
We’re attacking this challenge from two angles:
Faster response: We’re streamlining our procedures to respond to outages swiftly in these growing regions. Every second counts when the lights go out.
Building a stronger grid: To boost long-term reliability, we’ve built a brand-new substation off Fort Argyle Road in Chatham County. This is a significant investment, and it represents our commitment to providing a more resilient power grid for our growing community.
We’re proud to serve a region experiencing such dynamic growth, and we understand the challenges that come with it. Rest assured, we’re not just riding the wave—we’re actively shaping the future of reliable energy in north Bryan, Chatham and our entire service territory.
Together, we’ll illuminate a brighter tomorrow!
