Our Culture

North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives are driven by service and inspired by innovation. 

This mission is reflected in our efforts to pursue forward-thinking initiatives that not only keep North Carolina’s 26 electric co-ops at the forefront of our industry, but also improve quality of life for the 2.5 million people we serve in 93 of the state’s 100 counties.

Building a Brighter Future

We understand that a commitment to diversity strengthens not only our organization, but also the cooperatives and communities we serve.

We strive to foster a positive, inclusive and collaborative environment that encourages employee growth and promotes innovative ideas as we work together to build a brighter energy future for North Carolina. We want our employees to feel supported, challenged and valued, and recognize how their daily efforts and ingenuity make a real difference for people and communities throughout our state.

To that end, we maintain strong partnerships with the following organizations and universities to help foster diversity and inclusion in the workplace:

• National Society of Black Engineers
• Society of Women Engineers
• North Carolina A&T University
• North Carolina Central University
• Shaw University

We are also proud members/partners of the following industry associations and groups that share our commitment to innovation and service:

• Cooperative Council of North Carolina
• FREEDM Systems Center
• N.C. Chamber
• N.C. Rural Center
• Research Triangle CleanTech Cluster
