It’s a simple question with a big answer: What makes electric co-ops different than other types of utilities? Because we’re a co-op, we operate a little differently than other utilities.

Kennedy spoke his famous words, “Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.” His inspiring words urged Americans to take actions that benefited the greater good, because our country thrives when we all… Continue reading.
