Sawnee Electric Membership Corporation (Sawnee EMC) is among 32 electric cooperatives in Georgia that now collectively share in power production from a new 200-megawatt (MW) solar portfolio that includes three utility-scale projects in South Georgia. The total capacity of the three sites is distributed across two counties in the southwestern and southeastern parts of the state and will collectively provide enough low-cost, renewable energy to serve more than 35,000 EMC households. As a clean energy source, its environmental offset is equivalent to more than 350,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually.
The first site, known as Hazlehurst III, was commissioned in December 2019 and is a 40 MW facility located in Jeff Davis County. In August 2020, a second site was commissioned, the 74 MW Terrell Solar Farm, in Terrell County. Most recently, the third and final site in the portfolio was commissioned in December 2020, Snipesville I, an 86 MW facility also located in Jeff Davis County.
All three sites feature single-axis tracking modules that rotate to follow the sun – a technology advancement that produces approximately 20 percent more energy than fixed-tilt installations, allowing participating cooperatives to maximize the energy output.
Green Power EMC, the renewable energy provider owned by 38 Georgia Electric Membership Corporations including Sawnee EMC, is purchasing the full power output of the three solar facilities and providing it to participating electric cooperatives.

Sawnee EMC didn't waste any time and started right to work, just as they said they would. We got along smoothly with them and had a lot of back-and-forth communication. I stood there watching them put up the panels and everything else that was required. They have affordable solar repair and installation service and I will recommend everyone to hire them! They are definitely among the best solar panel installation companies in Cumming GA!
