North Georgia EMC members in Chattooga County have been under a “grace period” during the COVID-19 pandemic for late fees and disconnections; but you might want to be aware of some important dates concerning your power bill.

All late fees were suspended back in April, meaning that even if you were late paying your bill, you weren’t being charged any extra.  The end of the late fee suspension was on August 1st.

Also, if you are behind on your power bill and subject to disconnection, you haven’t had to worry about your power being shut off so far during the pandemic.  According North Georgia EMC, the deadline for disconnection suspensions is coming up on August 12th.

So if you are behind on your North Georgia EMC bill, what should you do?  North Georgia EMC is encouraging you to reach out to them now.  They say that their member services team will work with you with extended payment plans and offer solutions moving forward.   You can contact the North Georgia EMC office in Trion at 706-734-7341.

All North Georgia EMC lobbies are closed at this time, including the one in Trion; but the drive-through windows are open at all locations.
