Most people served by GreyStone Power are paying less for electricity than they were a year ago, thanks to our ongoing Wallet Watch reduction. That’s something to celebrate! Just think about computers, TVs, phones, washers and dryers, hot water, lighting, air conditioning and all the other things that use electricity to make our lives better.

Now, that’s some powerful news. GreyStone Power. Energizing your life for even less than before.

The cooperative’s rate for the average residential member is nearly 22%* lower than Georgia Power’s, based on the most recent rate survey by the Georgia Public Service Commission.

*Based on 1,000 kilowatt hours (kWH) per month for 2016 summer rates.

GreyStone Power is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
