Over the years, their united efforts have accomplished much and they have continuously been provided with low cost wholesale energy. In addition, Participants have been able to increase their influence with government entities by uniting as one voice and have saved money by taking advantage of economies of scale when it comes to Marketing and Distribution services.  MEAG's partial ownership in four power plants and 100% ownership of the Combined Cycle facility at Plant Wansley allow us to provide 2069 megawatts of power.
