Scammers often pretend to be utility providers and use fear and urgency to trick customers into paying. If something feels off, pause and verify through your local electric cooperative’s official phone number. Your safety and security come first!

Providing education and information to help you make the best decisions for you: just one of the many benefits of being an electric cooperative member!

Every flip of a switch represents our commitment to reliability, innovation and the members we love to serve. That’s the cooperative difference!
