If your land is rural, an EMC is more likely. Georgia's forty one electric membership corporations cover around three quarters of the state's land area. It matters because the EMC and its transmission partner are the parties a developer has to work with, which is a different set of relationships to dealing with Georgia Power. Your bill names your provider.
Because Georgia scales the tax exemption to it. Under 30,000 people a project needs 100 million dollars of investment and 5 quality jobs. Over 50,000 it needs 250 million and 25. That is a large difference, and it means a smaller county is often an easier place for a project to work, not a harder one.
There is no single number and anyone offering you one without seeing your ground is guessing. Whether the acreage is contiguous, and what runs near it electrically, matters far more than the total. A smaller place next to real capacity beats a larger one that is not.
It has been argued about. The legislature voted in 2024 to pause new certificates and the governor vetoed that, and further bills have been proposed since. As things stand the exemption runs to 2033. We would rather you heard that from us than assumed the position is settled.
Georgia is expanding its grid substantially and eminent domain has been used to route new transmission. That is a separate situation to being asked about your land as a site, and the two often get confused. If a line is proposed across your property, that is a conversation with the utility and your own attorney, not with us.
Do not sign, and do not treat a deadline in the letter as real. Find out whether they are buying for themselves or for a party they have not named. Have a Georgia attorney read anything before you agree to it. That holds for a letter from us just as much as from anyone else.
Often not. Plenty of arrangements involve a portion of a property while the rest carries on as it was. It is a fair thing to raise in the first conversation, and we would rather you did than leave it until late.
Tell us about your property. There is no cost and no obligation. If it does not fit, we will tell you plainly.
These take about two minutes. Skip anything you do not know. Guessing is fine.
Thank you. We will review the property and come back to you with a plain answer either way, including if it does not fit.
