As a local energy provider, our customers are our neighbors. Working to develop opportunities for commercial and industrial customers enhances our community through the growth of jobs and local revenue. The areas that Ocmulgee EMC services have much to offer for any size business. A great workforce, excellent housing opportunities and diverse education opportunities, make the location of a new business or the expansion of an existing business within our five county service area very attractive.
