The Family of Companies
In 1974, 39 of Georgia's EMCs formed a new generation-and-transmission cooperative, Oglethorpe Power Corporation. Ownership in generating plants and transmission assets ensured the EMCs’ ability to provide their customers with more reliable and affordable electric service.
Then, in order to achieve a fixed allocation of baseload power costs and in anticipation of a possible deregulation of the electric utility industry, OPC in 1997 was restructured into three companies:
-
Georgia System Operations Corporation: power system operations
-
Georgia Transmission Corporation: transmission construction and maintenance
-
Oglethorpe Power Corporation: generation operation and asset management
Other Affiliated Organizations
GSOC also is closely affiliated with several organizations in the electric cooperative industry.
