A little drop-in for a few special guests

York Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive wel­comed some spe­cial guests to our 77th Annu­al Meet­ing of Mem­bers May 12—the 3,373 mem­bers we reg­is­tered in atten­dance. Our val­ued mem­bers are always very spe­cial to us!

And yes, we had some dig­ni­taries vis­it, too: Gov. Hen­ry McMas­ter, U.S. Rep. Ralph Nor­man and state Rep. Tom­my Pope. Thanks to these friends of the co-op for tak­ing time out of their busy sched­ules to join us. If you could­n’t make it, allow me to recap the high­lights of my report:

• Rea­son­able rates: We have con­tin­ued our sev­en-year trend of no rate increase or only a slight increase. There will be no increase this year—and we’re work­ing on no increase for next year!
• Credit(s) to you: We recent­ly returned a record pay­out of cap­i­tal cred­its to you, our members—$1.4 mil­lion!
• Reli­a­bil­i­ty up: We have been blessed with our best out­age record in years. Reli­a­bil­i­ty and ser­vice qual­i­ty are the best in our record­ed his­to­ry.
• Shine on: Our first Com­mu­ni­ty Solar farm sold out in less than two weeks. Con­struc­tion on a sec­ond, in East York Indus­tri­al Park, will begin soon. By the way, mem­bers who bought into the first farm report a good return on their invest­ment.

Thanks again to all who attend­ed the meet­ing! If you could­n’t be there, we hope to see you in 2019, if not soon­er.
