The Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia (MEAG), created by the Georgia General Assembly in 1975, provides wholesale electricity to 49 member communities and reported an average of 65% emissions-free energy delivery since 2016.

The presentation said MEAG is a nonprofit, statewide generation and transmission organization that delivers competitively priced wholesale electricity to communities that own and operate local distribution systems. The speaker described MEAG’s portfolio as “diverse” and “clean,” and said the agency monitors and advocates on energy issues at the state and federal levels on behalf of its participants.

MEAG’s history and size were highlighted: the organization was established by the Georgia General Assembly in 1975 and, the presenter said, is recognized as one of the leading joint-action agencies nationally. The presentation also stated that MEAG ranks among public power companies in measures such as annual net generation, megawatt-hour sales and electric revenue.

The remarks were informational and did not include a proposed policy change or a formal action recorded in the transcript. No vote or directive was taken during the excerpted presentation.
