Possessing one of the few debt-free, county-owned hydroelectric generating plants in the country, Cordele/Crisp County provides some of the most inexpensive electrical power in the southeastern United States. The local hydroelectric plant is also backed up by a steam-powered turbine and a coal-fired generating plant. As a founding member of the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia (MEAG), wholesale power is also purchased. When combined with electrical power generated locally, an exceptionally competitive industrial rate is available.

It has been the policy of the Crisp County Power Commission for many years to use the Georgia Public Service Commission-approved rates for the Georgia Power Company and apply a discount, so that our total revenues are only those needed to meet operating costs and make capital improvements.
