We’re in great shape

We had a record num­ber of 4,375 reg­is­tered mem­bers at this year’s annu­al meet­ing. Thank you for com­ing to sup­port your co-op, exer­cise the val­ue of your mem­ber­ship by vot­ing on your board of direc­tors and bylaws and for help­ing us cel­e­brate our 80th year. The bylaw amend­ments passed, and you elect­ed the fol­low­ing can­di­dates to serve on your board of trustees:

Dis­trict 1: Tom Set­tle­myre
Dis­trict 2: E. Jack Corn­well
Dis­trict 3: Richard M. Roach
Dis­trict 4: Scott Good
Dis­trict 5: Car­olyn Hicks Boyd
Dis­trict 8: Tom­mie Brat­ton

The amend­ed bylaws can be found online here, along with the new trustee dis­trict map.

Here at YEC, we have locals look­ing out for you. We are com­mit­ted to pro­vid­ing our mem­bers with reli­able, safe and afford­able ener­gy. Over the past 10 years, we have not increased elec­tric rates and, in 2021, your board of trustees vot­ed to decrease rates. We do not expect an increase for the next two years.

This year marked a record low num­ber of pow­er out­ages. Part of this record suc­cess in reli­a­bil­i­ty is because we now have over half of our dis­tri­b­u­tion lines under­ground. We also just ener­gized the new Aycock School Sub­sta­tion, which should great­ly improve reli­a­bil­i­ty for our mem­bers in Bul­lock Creek, McConnells and south­ern York Coun­ty.

As we have pre­vi­ous­ly dis­cussed, we will be part­ner­ing with Com­po­ri­um to offer high-speed inter­net to more than 5,000 mem­bers in west­ern York Coun­ty and parts of Chero­kee Coun­ty. We have built three miles of fiber so far and will con­tin­ue work­ing to bring this nec­es­sary ser­vice to those who are unserved in our ter­ri­to­ry. Please look for more infor­ma­tion in the com­ing months about how you can sign up.

Togeth­er, we will con­tin­ue work­ing for you to keep rates down, rebate checks large, elec­tric ser­vice reli­a­bil­i­ty excel­lent and qual­i­ty of life high for our mem­bers. Your coop­er­a­tive is in great shape.

Sin­cere­ly,

Pres­i­dent and Chief Exec­u­tive Offi­cer
