That’s a large check!
On Monday, March 14, officials from Satilla REMC presented a check in the amount of $4,167,136.85 to the Appling County Tax Commissioner’s Office. The check represents the 2010 property taxes on Oglethorpe Power Corporation’s 30 percent share of the Edwin I Hatch Nuclear Plant in Appling County. Oglethorpe Power Corporation is a power supply cooperative owned by Satilla REMC and 38 other EMCs around Georgia.
Each year, Oglethorpe Power pays tens of millions of dollars in taxes on power plant facilities in the state that it owns on behalf of its Member EMCs. Last year’s total statewide tax payment was about $25 million.
