North Carolina’s electric cooperatives work hard to provide you with safe, affordable, reliable and environmentally responsible electricity (see Meeting Member Needs With Low‑Carbon Power).
This fuel mix includes assets owned by the North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation (NCEMC) — the Raleigh-based power supplier serving most of the state’s electric cooperatives — as well as distributed generation resources and power purchased from other generators.
NCEMC has been on a path to generating electricity while emitting less carbon dioxide for decades, a shift that is even apparent over the past 10 years.
