Brighter Future

In North Carolina, 26 local electric cooperatives provide energy to 2.8 million people across the state.

Guided and led by local consumers, North Carolina’s electric cooperatives are working together to deliver value to our members and communities. We’re national leaders in pursuing and deploying innovative technologies to help us achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, while also upholding our members’ priorities of receiving affordable and reliable electricity.

As not-for-profit energy providers, our commitment to our members extends beyond affordable, reliable electricity. We’re helping to strengthen the people and communities that make our state great, powering a brighter future now and for generations to come.
