Cobb EMC and Gas South celebrated the official opening of a new and innovative Solar Flower Garden on the Cobb EMC corporate campus along Highway 41 in Marietta. The 6,000 square foot garden showcases three 18-foot tall Smartflowers which are part of a larger solar project to supply renewable energy to the power grid. 

Over the last decade, Cobb EMC has been investing in smart, renewable energy technology for its members. The cooperative, a member-owned electric utility, is on schedule to attain its clean energy goals by 2030. The installation of rooftop solar panels on campus, the completion of a Solar Flower Garden, the activation of battery storage, and additional utility-scale solar later this year are all keeping Cobb EMC’s sustainability goals on track.
