Weathering the storm

Pro­vid­ing you with peace of mind that your coop­er­a­tive is ready in all types of weath­er is our pri­or­i­ty. Weath­er may come in the form of wind and rain, but a storm can also be changes in pol­i­cy, pro­ce­dures and opin­ions.

As they say, actions speak loud­er than words which is why show­ing up, get­ting the lights back on, stand­ing up for coop­er­a­tive val­ues and ser­vice excel­lence shows how we look out for you. Your coop­er­a­tive is not com­pla­cent. We have a sense of urgency to con­tin­ue improv­ing for you. That’s mem­ber com­fort. That’s the coop­er­a­tive dif­fer­ence.

We can’t con­trol the weath­er, but we can pre­pare for the worst and stand up for what is in our mem­ber­ship’s best inter­est. Your coop­er­a­tive is just as ded­i­cat­ed to form­ing good rela­tion­ships with our leg­is­la­tors and cul­ti­vat­ing growth in our econ­o­my to improve your lives as we are to restor­ing pow­er in a storm. We stand up for what is right and good for you.

In the Feb­ru­ary 2019 issue of South Car­oli­na Liv­ing mag­a­zine, please take note of your local del­e­ga­tion. These men and women spend their time form­ing laws and updat­ing pol­i­cy that affects your day-to-day lives. We encour­age you to reach out, let your voice be heard and always remem­ber to vote.

New operations center, same dedication

Last year, we ded­i­cat­ed resources to improve our oper­a­tions cen­ter. We are now offi­cial­ly up and run­ning. That’s the hub of your coop­er­a­tive and the brains behind the orga­ni­za­tion of our crews. From here, we can use tech­nol­o­gy to locate out­ages, dis­patch our linework­ers effi­cient­ly, focus on safe­ty and orga­ni­za­tion, and com­mu­ni­cate impor­tant infor­ma­tion to our employ­ees in the field. Although we might not be out­side, our con­nec­tions and com­mu­ni­ca­tions to employ­ees work­ing across our ser­vice ter­ri­to­ry puts us in the trench­es with them when it mat­ters most.

Holding true in a changing world

Our world will con­tin­ue to change. Our promise is that we will con­tin­ue adapt­ing and improving—we will weath­er what­ev­er storm comes our way—holding true to pro­vid­ing you with safe, reli­able and afford­able ener­gy. Your coop­er­a­tive is ready for the future. In fact, we look for­ward to what it brings for our mem­ber­ship.
