Service Area and Zip Codes

Link to map of the service area and list of zip codes – Operation Round Up is made possible because our electric members choose to round up their electric bills each month to the nearest dollar amount. Those pennies go into a Trust that is administered by a nine-member board of directors. Since the funds come from our electric members, our board strives to keep the funds within our electric service area. Our electric service area mainly includes Coweta and Fayette Counties. However, we do serve electricity to a few members that live just across the border of Coweta and Fayette County.
