Look for a credit on your bill

Cobb EMC is issuing a Wholesale Power Adjustment (WPA) credit, effective January 1, which will bring $1.1 million in savings to the electric cooperative’s members. Cobb EMC increases or decreases the WPA as necessary to follow changes in wholesale electric generation and transmission costs.

“Last year was challenging for our members and the communities we serve,” said Kevan Espy, Interim President and CEO of Cobb EMC. “When power costs come in lower than expected, the board votes to pass those savings on to our valued members. We’re proud to be the fifth most affordable of Georgia’s 94 electric utilities, and our employees are focused on providing our consumers the value and savings they deserve.”

The average Cobb EMC household, which uses 1,000 kWh each month, will save $4 on their bill, but each bill credit will vary depending on electric usage. This credit will be applied to the bill Cobb EMC members receive in January.
