Consolidated Electric Cooperative

Fall is a busy time, and October is a particularly eventful month with school, community and sports activities in full swing. It’s also when all cooperatives celebrate National Co-op Month.

Consolidated Electric Cooperative celebrates Co-op Month and that really means we celebrate our member-owners. After all, our co-op wouldn’t exist without them.

Our core business purpose is to serve as an electricity provider, but the larger mission of the co-op is to help make our corner of the world a better place. “Concern for community” is one of seven guiding principles that all co-ops share. Similar to how our wires run through our service territory, our concern for community flows through all of our decisions––because being a co-op means being a responsible partner and good neighbor.

Consolidated Electric Cooperative works to help our community thrive through initiatives led by our employees and board members that’s comprised of member-owners who live in the communities we serve. Because we’re local, we understand our community’s unique needs and strive to find ways to help meet them.

We’re proud to support local youth through our Youth Tour, C.Y.C.L.E. and scholarship programs. Through the Consolidated Cares Trust we support fundraisers for community and school events, provide support to charitable organizations and participate in local events and activities.

The word “cooperative” is close to “cooperation,” meaning people working together towards a common goal—mutually benefitting one another and the larger community. That’s the essence of the cooperative spirit. Our employees and member-elected board members are invested in the communities in which they live and serve.

Above all, as a co-op we put our members’ priorities first. As your trusted energy partner, we know that saving energy and money is important to you. We want to empower you to manage your own energy use at home. If you haven’t already, take a moment and download our app, SmartHub. Through the app, you can conveniently monitor your energy use. We’re of course here to help, so give us a call if you have questions about your energy bills.

Consolidated Electric Cooperative is continuously examining ways to operate more efficiently while continuing to provide the highest level of safe, reliable electric and related services its members expect and deserve. After all, we’re your local co-op. We were built by the members we serve.
