C&I Services
Customer Choice

As a result of a somewhat unique state law, large commercial and industrial power users generally have the right to choose their power supplier when building a new facility in Georgia. The Georgia Territorial Service Act of 1973 provides that any new facility that (a) will have a connected load of 900 kilowatts or more and (b) is located outside a municipality's 1973 city limits can choose its power supplier.

An agreement among Georgia's major power suppliers established joint ownership of the state's transmission and substation facilities. This resulted in the Integrated Transmission System (ITS), which eliminates the expense of duplication and ensures each supplier the ability to serve "customer choice" facilities.

Snapping Shoals EMC is proud to offer very competitive prices and services, and welcomes the opportunity to serve new customer choice facilities in our general area. For more information, contact Danny Stone, manager of Economic Development, at dstone@ssemc.com.
