  Electric energy produced by renewable, more

environmentally-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-profit
corporation founded in August 2001, is to find electricity
produced from cleaner, greener Georgia sources, and
add it to the power supply mix.
  Green Power EMC is a partnership of 38 Georgia electric
membership cooperatives who through working together
have given Georgia residents the state's first choice of
"green" electricity. The Green Power EMC members
represent 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 then
distributed 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 landfill methane gas to electric
generating station located at
Charing in Taylor County,
Georgia. The landfill owner/
operator is Allied Waste
Management. Initial generating
capacity is 4.0 megawatts.
  Online since October 2003.
  Located on the Middle Oconee
River will begin producing 2.3
megawatts of electricity in
2005 from water. It is a
certified facility by the Low
Impact Hydro Institute.
  Online since April 2005.
  Project is located in Franklin
County, Georgia.
  The plant will consume poultry
waste as the fuel source,
eliminating the waste disposal
issues of litter, feathers, water
treatment sludge, etc.
  Generating capacity will be 24
MWs.
  Project is located in Washington County, Georgia.
  The plant will be sited on 12 acres of land needed for the
11,480 modules. The total plant site will be 40 acres.
  Generating capacity will be 2 MWs.
  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.
  Green Power EMCs have been
testing the possibility of using wind
power at the Rocky Mountain
Pump Storage facility in Floyd
County.
  The test site is located atop
Oglethorpe Power Corporation's
Rocky Mountain Pumped Storage
Hydroelectric Plant in Floyd
County, Ga.
  Green Power EMC contract in 5/2005 with Airtricity for
Rocky Mountain Site wind study
  Goal of study was to determine wind aspect of feasibility
of wind turbine installation at Rocky Mountain
  Meteorological Tower (“Met Tower”) erected July 2005
  12 months of data reached in August 2006, provided
basis for full wind report
  Airtricity submitted “Final Report” on 9/8/2006

students about renewable energy
and its impact on the environment.
  We are partnering with local middle
and high schools to install a 1 kW
grid-tied photovoltaic system to
harness the energy from the sun
and provide on-line data
monitoring to the classroom.
  This represents the first statewide
academic program to showcase
the benefits of solar energy.
  The first installation was at Irwin
County High School, was
completed on August 18, 2005.
  Our 24th site was just completed.
