Covid may have changed a lot of minds about the necessity of broadband, but government policy has not yet changed,” Conexon Partner Jonathan Chambers said. “For the past decade, the digital divide was a consequence of government policy: the different levels of internet service available in rural areas and urban areas was a decision by the federal government. Additionally, it will provide reliable, clear phone service and enable the benefits of smart grid capabilities to the electrical infrastructure, including improved power outage response times, better load balancing, more efficient electricity delivery and others. The fiber-optic network will offer Washington EMC members access to symmetrical gigabit internet capabilities – among the fastest and most robust in the nation. Collectively Connect’s Georgia projects will provide high-speed fiber internet access to approximately 85,000 central Georgia homes and businesses across more than 30 counties. The impact on daily life for Washington EMC’s counties will truly be something inspiring to see.”Ĭonexon Connect’s partnership with Washington EMC follows a broadband expansion announcement in February with Central Georgia EMC and Southern Rivers Energy. “For more than 80 years, our cooperative has been committed to continuously improving the rural communities we serve, but bringing broadband is something different and unlike anything our membership has experienced. “To say that we are excited about this journey is an understatement,” said Wendy Sellers, President and CEO of Washington EMC. The first customers will be connected in 1Q 2022.

Washington EMC’s $54.5 million fiber network is expected to be completed within 3 years. “This is just the beginning for the thousands of rural families and businesses there who have never experienced the power and opportunity that comes with access to world-class fiber broadband.” We are working tirelessly to close the Digital Divide everywhere we can, and we are proud to partner with Washington EMC on this next step,” Conexon Partner Randy Klindt said. “Connect’s footprint across Georgia continues to grow. The electric cooperative is teaming up with Connect to launch and deploy a 3,000-mile fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network providing high-speed internet access to over 12,000 homes and businesses spanning 10 counties in central Georgia.
