In September 2022, Cobb EMC completed its innovative campus microgrid project, incorporating various sustainable technologies. This includes the installation of 1.5 MW AC of solar PV, a 1 MW/4 MWh battery energy storage system, a 1 MW natural gas generator, and a solar canopy for EV charging. Cobb EMC announced its ambitious clean energy goals, aiming to reduce carbon emissions by 75% and doubling up on the renewable energy portfolio with a 200% increase, all by 2030.
