Phil Lunney 8:17pm Jul 4 They have annual if not quarterly meetings. You are one of the owners...time to go vote. Vanessa Phillips 6:47pm Jul 4 they won't allow solar panels?? What a bunch of Greedy A holes ... don't y'all have windstream? Original Post Frank Gilkeson 3:41pm Jul 4 Why is there no broadband in Lumpkin County? Why are solar panels not allowed on houses in Lumpkin County? Same answer. Because Amicacola EMC will not allow it. AmEMC will not distribute broadband and AmEMC will not allow their owner-customers to deploy solar panels on their houses. It is as simple as that. And AmEMC is not a "big bad profit obsessed corporation. AmEMC is a nonprofit coop owned by its customers. It has a legal monopoly to supply electric power to a certain area. Why do the Customer-Owners of AmEMC tolerate this? You tell me. View Post on Facebook · Edit Email Settings · Reply to this email to add a comment.
