Celebrating 80 years of service

Ser­vice with a smile at your co-op. Whether we are dis­cussing the work we do to pro­vide elec­tric­i­ty to your home or the help we aim to pro­vide oth­ers, we give it 100%. We try to do the right things for the right rea­sons, to improve con­stant­ly and to be the light, both in your kitchen and in the com­mu­ni­ty. We want our ser­vice to go beyond reli­able, afford­able and safe ener­gy in your home. We strive to make a dif­fer­ence, lead with courage, integri­ty and hon­esty and be a neigh­bor you can count on.

We’ve been your friend for 80 years, work­ing for you to con­tin­ue mak­ing your life bet­ter and eas­i­er. In 1941, that meant bring­ing elec­tric­i­ty into local, rur­al homes and farms. Today, that means pro­vid­ing inno­v­a­tive mem­ber-dri­ven pro­grams to help keep rates low and more mon­ey in your pock­et, increas­ing reli­a­bil­i­ty of our sys­tem through tech­nol­o­gy and, most recent­ly, work­ing to deliv­er high speed inter­net access to approx­i­mate­ly 5,000 mem­bers who are unserved in West­ern York and parts of Chero­kee coun­ties.

Despite the virus, we’ve con­tin­ued to work hard for you, aim­ing to deliv­er the excep­tion­al ser­vice you expect and deserve as mem­bers of YEC. We invite you to join us in cel­e­brat­ing our 80th year at our first com­plete dri­ve-thru annu­al meet­ing on Fri­day, May 7, from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. and Sat­ur­day, May 8, from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. Although it is still unsafe for us to gath­er and enjoy the food and enter­tain­ment his­tor­i­cal­ly found at our annu­al meet­ing, our new expe­ri­ence will keep folks safe and be even more con­ve­nient for you. Mem­bers who attend the annu­al meet­ing will receive a $20 pow­er bill cred­it, a pack of two LED light bulbs and will be entered to win door prizes and one of three grand prizes: a pick­up truck and two $500 pow­er bill cred­its! We also will have an impor­tant elec­tion this year where mem­bers who pro­vide prop­er iden­ti­fi­ca­tion will be eli­gi­ble to vote on bylaw amend­ments and board mem­bers. Please find the can­di­dates for elec­tion on the next page and ref­er­ence either last mon­th’s mag­a­zine for the pro­posed bylaw amend­ments or down­load them online at yorkelectric.net.

We look for­ward to serv­ing you May 7 and 8 and con­tin­u­ing to be at your ser­vice, improv­ing your qual­i­ty of life for years to come. See you next month.

Sin­cere­ly,
