October is Co-op Month — a time to celebrate the unique spirit of electric cooperatives and the profound connections they forge. It is a great time to consider the important role your local electric cooperative plays in empowering your community — fostering opportunities, connecting you to the world and paving the path from today to a brighter tomorrow.
Co-ops connect energy and community: At the heart of the cooperative’s mission lies the commitment to power homes, schools, factories and businesses in your community. Our energy powers education, healthcare, commerce, connectivity and even transportation.
Co-ops connect people and opportunity: Cooperatives are working to create new opportunities for the people and places we serve. From creating jobs through economic development to inspiring students through our educational programs, electric co-ops connect individuals with opportunities they might not otherwise have.
