So many reasons to be thankful As we move into this holiday season, the Cobb EMC family wants to take a few minutes to reflect on what we’re thankful for this year. We’re thankful that... Your family saves money by receiving electricity from Georgia’s second most affordable EMC. Members saved an estimated $13 million through six credits in the Wholesale Power Adjustment (WPA) for the months of June, July, August, September, October and November. We were named EMC of the Year by Georgia EMC for unprecedented generosity and service. Members helped reach a milestone of $1 million donated to nonprofit organizations through Operation Round Up®.
World’s best linemen Cobb EMC linemen beat out nearly 1,000 of their colleagues from around the world to win the World Championship title at the 32nd Annual International Lineman’s Rodeo, an event that tests linemen’s skills under poor conditions. This is the fourth time Cobb EMC employees won the top award! Their unmatched skill, safety and speed proved exemplary as they won through a combination of top scores and best times, bringing home numerous awards. Find photos of all the action on our Facebook page! Pictured right: Cobb EMC’s 2015 International Lineman’s Rodeo participants pose in front of our co-op’s rodeo trailer.
