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.

Solar Power

Low Impact Hydro





• 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 electricgenerating station located at

Charing in Taylor County,Georgia. The landfill owner/operator is Allied WasteManagement. Initial generatingcapacity is 4.0 megawatts.

Online since October 2003.







Located on the Middle Oconee

River will begin producing 2.3megawatts of electricity in2005 from water. It is acertified facility by the LowImpact Hydro Institute.

Online since April 2005.



Project is located in FranklinCounty, Georgia.

The plant will consume poultrywaste as the fuel source,eliminating the waste disposal

issues of litter, feathers, water treatment sludge, etc.

Generating capacity will be 24MWs.





Project is located in Washington County, Georgia.

The plant will be sited on 12 acres of land needed for the11,480 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 beentesting the possibility of using windpower at the Rocky MountainPump Storage facility in FloydCounty.

The test site is located atopOglethorpe Power Corporation'sRocky Mountain Pumped StorageHydroelectric Plant in FloydCounty, 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, providedbasis for full wind report

Airtricity submitted “Final Report” on 9/8/2006

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.
