Thankfully, the establishment of the Rural Electrification Administration in 1936 empowers people to purchase power as a community. Thus, electric membership cooperatives (EMCs) are born. 1970s During a time of fuel shortages and high prices, 39 EMCs establish Oglethorpe Power Corporation, a not-for-profit cooperative, to own and operate power plants and transmission infrastructure on behalf of the EMCs. 1990s Always forward-thinking, Oglethorpe Power Corporation divides into three separate not-for-profits, each equipped to support different parts of the power grid. Georgia Transmission is established to manage the transmission infrastructure. 2000s Georgia Transmission expands its operations and facilities with a continued focus on serving local communities. These efforts lead to a new industry record for the lowest number of outages per EMC member. Today & Beyond A national leader in electricity transmission excellence, Georgia Transmission continues to partner with local EMCs and provide Georgia with reliable, affordable energy. SERVING GEORGIA'S EMCS Georgia Transmission is an electric membership cooperative owned by the 38 Georgia EMCs it serves. We are responsible for planning, building and maintaining high-voltage transmission lines and substations that carry power from generation facilities to the local EMC.
