As of 2013, Jackson EMC provides electric service to more than 210,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers in 10 metro Atlanta and northeast Georgia counties. The next several decades saw increasing growth, despite the economic downturn of the 1970s, with the cooperative tripling in size between 19. By 1960, electricity had reached 98% of homes and businesses within Jackson EMC's service area. In April of that year, power was delivered for the first time to farms and homes in the rural counties of Banks, Barrow, Clarke, Franklin, Gwinnett, Hall, Jackson and Madison. Workers broke ground in Jefferson, Georgia, in January 1939 for construction of Jackson EMC's first transmission lines. The cooperative was made possible through the Rural Electrification Administration (REA), a program of the Roosevelt Administration's New Deal.
