This year marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, which was first celebrated on April 22, 1970, and serves as an annual recognition of the importance of protecting our planet and its resources.
At Randolph EMC, we are committed to delivering power that is affordable, reliable and low carbon. More than half our power comes from emissions-free nuclear, and we are increasingly incorporating renewable energy sources and grid-optimizing technologies to take this commitment even further.
As a co-op member, you can help amplify the benefits of electricity by using it as a cleaner, cheaper and smarter alternative to fossil fuels. Appliances, equipment, agricultural and industrial processes, and even your car, can now be powered by electricity, resulting in cost savings, lower emissions and increased productivity and efficiency.
Electric cooperatives are building a statewide electric vehicle charging network and implementing other innovative initiatives that support increased commerce, tourism and economic development in the communities we serve. And we offer incentives like special rates, EV charger rebates and access to low-interest loans to make it easier for co-op members like you to enjoy the savings and efficiency that electricity has to offer.
