Since 1902, the City of Covington has been providing electricity to the homes and businesses of our community. In addition to standard electric services, we also offer services such as security lighting, energy audits and surge protection. For more details on our products and services call Customer Service at 770-385-2000.
The City of Covington is a member of MEAG (Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia) Power, a joint action agency comprised of 48 municipalities across the state that generates and distributes electricity to publicly owned systems. MEAG is the principal supplier of electricity to Covington. The City also acquires electricity from SEPA (the Southeastern Power Administration) and purchases additional power as needed from the wholesale power market.
Because we are located here in the community, we can respond to trouble calls and other customer needs quickly. Although our office operates during standard business hours, emergency service is provided 24/7.
Revenue generated from electric sales is used to upgrade and maintain local services, thus keeping the tax rate low. We have no stockholders to pay dividends to, so the revenue is reinvested back into Covington and Newton County, providing benefits not just to our citizens, but to everyone who drives on our streets or passes through town.
