As we close out election season, you have probably thought through the power of your vote in choosing political representatives. But there’s another important way you can use your voice. You can influence the policies that impact your co-op, and therefore, your power bill. At York Electric, we are ready to champion your interests, and we would like to know whether we can call on our members to support their co-op.
As a York Electric member, you are part of a network of approximately 42 million Americans who receive their power from an electric cooperative. Electric co-ops serve a diverse web of communities, in both rural and suburban areas. The hardworking individuals and families that receive their power from an electric cooperative are not just co-op members, but partial owners that depend on the same power grid, and this is why your co-op champions affordability and reliability. When our members unite, we have the power to shape the policies that keep energy costs low and services reliable.
Today, our state and federal representatives are debating critical issues that could impact our energy future, from the growing demand for electricity to supply chain shortages and outdated permitting processes that slow down infrastructure development. These challenges make it more vital than ever to advocate for policies that safeguard reliable, affordable power for our communities.
That’s where you come in. By joining York Electric’s grassroots network, you will become part of a group we can call upon to help us advocate for energy policies that work for our community. You do not need to be a member- friends and family can join too. We will only contact you when your voice is needed, and your information will remain safe with us.
Electric co-ops connect us, power our daily lives, and empower the communities that we live and work in. That is the cooperative difference, and we hope we can count on you to help inform our local, state, and federal governments of our value. York Electric Cooperative is ready to work for you in any storm.
