What makes a Cooperative different from other utilities? We do not have customers. We are owned by our members. Cooperatives have deep roots in the communities they serve because, without them, we would not exist. We were built by our members in 1936 to provide safe and reliable energy. While the times may have changed, our mission and outlook have not. We view our role as a catalyst for good. Working together, we can accomplish great things for our community now and in the future.

Cooperatives are led by members who understand and listen to the communities we serve. We work together with a nationwide network of cooperatives to develop new technologies and infrastructure, learn from each other, and help each other when needed. We support local, charitable organizations and encourage our members to ‘round up’ their energy bill to the next dollar to make a big impact in our communities. Programs of all types are eligible for Operation Round Up grants, and our members have donated to deserving schools, groups, and organizations. When members support Operation Round Up, they support the community and make it a better place for everyone to live.
