Today we’re celebrating 35 years of leadership and dedication from our Line Superintendent, Rob Burton! 🎉

For the past 35 years, Rob has played an important role in keeping the lights on for our members while leading with experience, dedication, and a strong focus on safety and service.

“It’s hard to believe 35 years have gone by so quickly. I’ve been fortunate to work alongside dedicated co-workers over the years who have become lifelong friends, and I’m proud of the work we do for our members every day. Being part of this cooperative has meant a great deal to me, and I’m thankful for all the memories and relationships built over the years.”

Thank you, Rob, for your commitment and the impact you make at Pella Cooperative Electric! 👏

In May, we recognize National Electrical Safety Month to raise awareness about reducing electrical-related fires, injuries, and fatalities.

Here are a few important safety tips to keep in mind:

• Never use electrical equipment near water.
• Check all light bulbs to ensure the wattage is safe and suitable for the fixture.
• Never run extension cords under rugs, through walls or across doorways.
• Do not plug too many devices into a single outlet or power strip.

Beat the heat and save energy this summer!

Raise your thermostat a few degrees when possible and make sure to replace dirty/clogged filters so your system runs efficiently. Use smaller appliances instead of the oven to keep extra heat out of the kitchen and remember to close blinds during the hottest times of the day.

Simple actions can lead to significant savings this summer.

Safety is always our top priority. ⚠️

This week, PCE crews completed annual Mayday and Bucket Truck Rescue training. This important hands-on exercise prepares employees to respond quickly and safely during emergency situations in the field.

Throughout the training, linemen practiced bucket truck rescue techniques and emergency response procedures, reinforcing the teamwork, communication, and preparedness needed when every second matters.

Training like this helps ensure our crews are ready to safely serve our members and support each other every day.

May is National Barbecue Month!

Firing up the grill isn’t just great for flavor, it can also help you save energy. Cooking outdoors keeps extra heat out of the kitchen, so your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard to keep your home cool.

Enjoy the barbecue and the energy savings!
