Our History
In 1937, individuals in several counties in Southeast Georgia partnered together to take part in the new rural electricity movement. Through their cooperation, these leaders created The Satilla Rural Electric Membership Corporation, a not-for-profit electric membership cooperative. Since its inception, Satilla REMC has grown to meet the needs of its nine-county service delivery area. The Board of Directors and the employees of Satilla REMC, are reminded of the founding partnerships with people in local communities as they constantly strive to meet the ever-changing needs of its current partners and members.
Overall, in Georgia, the 42 electric membership cooperatives serve 3.7 million residents and over 75,000 commercial and industrial customers. As a result of more than six decades of dedicated effort to improve the quality of life in rural America, many electric co-ops enjoy a value to their communities that goes beyond their ability to simply provide reliable light and heat. Communities depend on them for their economic initiatives, their civic leadership, and their commitment to local job creation.
