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

When severe weather impacts the communities served by North Carolina’s electric cooperatives, we’re here to help see you through.

Working for an electric cooperative is a smart career move.

Opportunities are available across a range of specialties, working together to support an inspiring mission.
