Every year, the cooperative is required to conduct an annual meeting of the membership. The purpose of the meeting is to hold an election of directors, share financial information and provide a cooperative update. Being a cooperative means we’re owned by you, our members.

2025 Highlights
As a cooperative, we strive to be a member-focused provider. The Annual Meeting is one way we can do that, and our way of saying thank you. We are here to serve you, a fact we never take for granted. It is our privilege to provide reliable and affordable energy alongside exceptional service to all members. Last year’s entertainment included Highwater Troubadours, and they did not disappoint! Members were able to enjoy a meal from Chick-fil-A and soft-serve ice cream from Thornburg Concessions. Door prizes were given away throughout the evening. The children enjoyed an inflatable obstacle course and Silly Safaris shows and were able to win prizes of their own.
