Did you check what you are saying?
I did that for you: [1] has the average electricity prices in different regions of the US as published by the EIA. As of December 22 (latest data available), the average price for residential use in the whole of the US was 14.96 cents/kWh. In Georgia it was 11.96 cents/kWh. The report also has December 21, and also other sectors (commercial, industrial, transportation, overall). As far as I can see the price in Georgia was systematically below the nationwide average.

- wil421 4y agoI’m only paying $0.08 cents in Georgia but I’m with another energy provider that has the lowest rates in the state (if their marketing material is correct).
- prepend 4y agoSawnee EMC charges 7.67 cents per kWh ($0.0767) [0]. Georgia Power (most of metro Atlanta) charges 5.8-10.6 cents per kWh depending on season and amount consumes [1]. Georgia is very lucky to have cheap electricity. I think it’s in part to having nuclear power plants.

- wil421 4y agoThanks. I am going to email Cobb EMC and ask why Sawnee has lower rates yet they claim they have the lowest. Actually Sawnee is tiered so you would only get that rate below 100 kWh and the warm weather rates go up during specifics months. Cobb EMC rates don’t change unless you do the Niteflex program.
