Snapping Shoals EMC has been serving this area for more than 85 years, and during that time has built a strong reputation for providing reliable power and excellent customer service. Our roots go back to the 1930s and the early days of America's rural electrification. In those days, just trying to bring power to rural areas was a major undertaking. Today, Snapping Shoals serves some of the fastest-growing areas in our nation, and most of our once-rural service territory is now part of metro Atlanta. The co-op currently provides electricity to approximately 100,000 homes, businesses and other facilities in an eight-county area that includes large portions of Newton, Henry and Rockdale counties as well as parts of DeKalb, Butts, Walton, Jasper and Morgan counties.
