Innovative Services

North Carolina’s electric cooperatives lead the pursuit of innovative technologies that will shape our energy future and allow us to serve members in new ways.

Making a Difference

Electric cooperatives are different from other utilities because we are rooted in the communities we serve, and are committed to supporting those local communities and members.

Your Local Co-op

More than 2.5 million people across 93 of North Carolina’s 100 counties are served by local electric cooperatives.

Storm Center
