Set up multifactor authentication (MFA) to add an extra layer of security to your accounts. MFA requires more than one way to prove the person logging in is really you. That way, even if someone steals your password, MFA helps keep your accounts protected.

Heat index is more than just the temperature on the thermostat—it's how hot it feels. High heat indices put extra strain on the grid. While our power from Buckeye Power is reliable even in extreme heat, you can do your part at home to help us keep the power flowing:

🌡️ ️Keep your thermostat at the same temperature.
🌡️ Use ceiling fans.
🌡️ Run major appliances when temperatures cool down.

For about $150 a month, electricity powers hundreds of everyday moments. That’s $5 a day to keep your home convenient, connected and comfortable. It may seem like just another bill, but the truth is electricity makes everyday life possible. via NRECA

💙 Operation Helping Others in Action 💙

We’re proud to support local organizations through our Operation Helping Others program! Today we were proud to present a check to the United Way of Muskingum, Perry & Morgan Counties to aid in their flood relief efforts.

Funded by members who choose to round up their electric bills, these small contributions come together to create a big impact by supporting neighbors, nonprofits, and meaningful local initiatives.

💙 Another Act of Kindness for Our USofKindness Challenge! 💙

When our communities need help, we believe in lending a hand. Recently, our employees Brittany Disbennett, Blake West, Darrin Thomas, Casey McVicker, and Mindy Corp recently joined the United Way of Muskingum, Perry & Morgan Counties to pack disaster relief boxes for families and individuals impacted by the recent flooding. 📦💙

Our employees also helped transport the boxes to a storage location so they can get into the hands of those who need them.

We’re proud to support our neighbors during a difficult time. That’s the cooperative difference—coming together to care for our communities when it matters most.
