This Month’s Issue: Our Energy Future
As discussed in our May issue, your electric cooperative is hard at work despite the many disruptions to our daily lives caused by the ongoing pandemic. In this issue, we’re proud to share some big plans North Carolina electric co-ops have been developing to better serve their members. Some projects may be familiar to you, and some are yet to come. But all are aimed at creating a bright future for co-op members and the communities we call home.
