Whiteside said,

"We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and are proud to be of service

to our counterparts across the globe."

"It was

an honor for Coweta-Fayette EMC to be recognized for our management and

operations and to be chosen as one of the site visits."

Dan Hart, vice

president of marketing, spoke on the need for green power and how the

Georgia EMC's now have the largest green power program in the southeast.

Manager of

engineering and 0perations, Dale Hannold, spoke on reliability.

"Our goal

is to have 100 percent reliability. So far, we have been able to reduce

our outage time to less than 1.3 hours per member per year. Helping to

improve this reliability is a formal right-of-way management program.

Coweta-Fayette is clearing or maintaining at least 1/5 of its right-of-way

each year. This includes trimming trees, removing dead brush and mowing."

To complete

the day, the group was taken to the Mountain Creek substation that is

located in west Coweta County for a closer look at one of our distribution

points. The delegation was very interested in system protection both on

Coweta Fayette's system and our transmission network and circuit loading.
