Electric energy produced by renewable, moreenvironmentally-friendly sources
Less air, water and natural resource impacts Typical green power technologies include solar, wind,
geothermal, biomass, and low-impact hydropower
Biomass includes landfill gas and agricultural wastes

The mission of Green Power EMC, a not-for-profitcorporation founded in August 2001, is to find electricityproduced from cleaner, greener Georgia sources, andadd it to the power supply mix.
Green Power EMC is a partnership of 38 Georgia electricmembership cooperatives who through working together have given Georgia residents the state's first choice of "green" electricity. The Green Power EMC membersrepresent more than three million Georgia homes,
businesses, factories and farms. Green Power EMC contracts for electricity generated by
renewable resources and the green electricity is thendistributed by the 38 distribution cooperatives.

• Since 2003, we have been delivering electricity from
renewable resources. Through August 2008, we had
generated over 134,000,000 kWh of electricity from our
biomass, low-impact hydropower and solar projects.
• Plus, we expect to generate an additional 140,000,000
kWh in 2009 from Plant Carl, our poultry litter to electricity
generating plant.

A portion of the price paid by Green Power subscribers
goes toward research and development. By subscribing,
Green Power customers not only purchase some of their current power needs from renewable resources, they
also contribute to exploring new Georgia renewable
resources and technologies.

Sun Power for Schools educatesstudents about renewable energyand its impact on the environment.
We are partnering with local middleand high schools to install a 1 kWgrid-tied photovoltaic system toharness the energy from the sunand provide on-line datamonitoring to the classroom.
This represents the first statewideacademic program to showcasethe benefits of solar energy.
The first installation was at IrwinCounty High School, wascompleted on August 18, 2005.
Our 24th site was just completed.
