En lenguaje claro
This resolution is a ceremonial statement from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It recognizes the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia, known as MEAG Power, which was created in 1975 as a nonprofit public corporation to generate and deliver wholesale electricity to 49 participating communities across the state. The resolution describes MEAG Power's role providing electricity from nuclear, natural gas, coal, and hydroelectric sources, its ownership stake in Plant Vogtle Units 3 and 4, and its record on non-emitting power generation. It formally commends the organization for 50 years of service and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send a copy of the resolution to MEAG Power.
