GENERAC
Home Generator Program
Reliably delivering electricity to your home is a priority for Mitchell EMC, but sometimes the co-op is no match for Mother Nature. Severe weather events can disrupt power here in South Georgia, depriving our homes of the electricity we depend on.
An extended electric outage is more than an inconvenience these days. More people are working and schooling from home, and those activities often demand electricity powered technology. In the event of an extended outage, are you protected with a backup power solution?
A Perfect Partnership
Mitchell EMC has teamed with its own materials supply cooperative, GRESCO, and another Georgia- based electrical solutions company, Anderson Power Services, to make it easy for customer-owners to purchase and install a quality home standby generator at a competitive price. In addition, the co-op's Home Plus Loan is available to finance any generator purchase for qualified EMC customer-owners.
