The Cooperative Story
Amicalola EMC is a not-for-profit electric cooperative, built by the communities we serve to deliver reliable, sustainable and affordable energy. And, because we answer to local members like you, rather than out-of-town shareholders, our electric cooperative has a unique understanding of our local needs. In fact, many of our leaders and employees live right here in the community.
Led by our members, Amicalola EMC is a community-focused organization, providing jobs and investing in the areas we serve through programs like the broadband initiative with ETC and giving back to the community through Bright Ideas, Operation Round-up, high school scholarships and the annual Washington Youth Tour for high school juniors.
We’re local and we’re independent. But together, we’re mighty: across the country, local cooperatives work together and learn from one another to develop new technologies and infrastructure. But electric cooperatives aren’t just economic engines. We’re innovators, developing new ways to incorporate the benefits of cooperative solar, wind, and other sources of renewable energy into a balanced energy mix. And we’re always looking for new ways to help our members save energy, save money and take advantage of the technology that’s changed the way we live.
It’s all part of the cooperative spirit that’s always been one of the best things about living in our community. Neighbors looking out for neighbors. People working for the common good. That’s community. That’s what fueled the co-op movement so many years ago—and it’s the source of our new energy today. The power of community is what being an electric cooperative is all about.
