Same Power. Different Hour.
WE ARE HERE FOR YOU, MEETING YOUR ENERGY NEEDS To better serve you, Cobb EMC must have electricity ready at all times to meet everyone’s maximum needs during peak hours. Over the last several years, Cobb EMC’s focus has been to look for ways to diversify our energy mix and expand our energy portfolio in an effort to keep costs as low as possible for our members.
What does this mean to you, our member? Every member has a different need for energy at different times. Cobb EMC must have available resources (capacity) on standby to meet every member’s maximum needs during peak hours. We must purchase electricity from several sources to meet our system needs. The power then flows to our members’ homes through our power distribution systems, keeping the lights on 24/7, 365.

The online and mobile application allows you to easily and securely pay your electric bill, monitor daily and hourly energy use and more.
