MEAG Power; recognize
This is a ceremonial resolution (SR 271) recognizing MEAG Power's 50th anniversary. It formally commends MEAG Power for its role as Georgia's municipal electric authority, established in 1975 to provide reliable, affordable wholesale electricity to 49 participating communities across the state. The resolution highlights MEAG Power's 50-year service, its 65% non-emitting energy portfolio since 2016, and its contributions to energy security and economic development. It does not create new policies, funding, or obligations - it is purely a symbolic gesture of appreciation approved by the Georgia Senate.
