The heat is on!

Summertime heat and humidity are just around the corner in South Georgia! The high temperatures, coupled with our traditionally higher summer electric rates, may result in high energy bills. We would like to offer some energy-saving tips:

• Keep your thermostat at 78 degrees or higher
• Replace your AC filter regularly
• Keep windows covered to block the sun’s rays
• Use fans to help the air feel cooler

Be sure to monitor your usage using our online portal or our free mobile app! Usage can be displayed in daily intervals or in 15-minute intervals. Weather conditions such as average temperature and high temperature can also be displayed allowing you to see how your usage pattern correlates to temperature conditions.

OSmose utility services

Updated 4/2/2024

Crisp County Power Commission has again contracted with Osmose Utility Services to inspect and treat our utility poles as part of our efforts to ensure continued safety and electric service reliability.

Osmose will be in the area performing this work beginning in early May. Their work will take approximately 2-3 months to complete. Areas in which their crews will be working include those south of Highway 280 and west of I-75 down to Antioch Road.

Osmose crews will require safe access to properties located in these areas in order to perform their inspection and treatment. Crews will be digging around the base of the poles in order to inspect and treat.

Osmose vehicles will be marked and Osmose employees will have proper id.

Please contact our engineering department at 229-273-3811 if you have any questions or concerns.

US POSTAL SERVICE DELAYS

3/22/2024

It has come to our attention that the USPS is experiencing delays processing and delivering mail.

Beginning 2/24/2024 the USPS began routing mail originating from zip codes beginning with 310, which includes Crisp County, through a new Atlanta facility for processing. Prior to this date mail originating from these zip codes was processed in a Macon facility. The new Atlanta facility has been experiencing issues during this transition.

Customers should be aware of these delays and take them into consideration when paying their utility bill.

Customers remain responsible to pay their electric bill in full prior to the cut off date to avoid disconnection of service.

CCPC offers e-Billing which allows customers to receive an email when their new bill is available to view online in place of a paper bill. e-Billing customers typically receive the email the day after the bill is processed which allows them to see their bill sooner than traditional paper bills sent through the Post Office.

CCPC also offers a number of convenient payment methods including electronic payments entered through our online customer portal, free mobile app, and IVR systems as well as automated bank draft, CheckFree, and through your bank’s bill pay feature. In addition, we have three kiosks located at our business office. CSRs are available to accept your payment if you prefer to pay in person.
