Upon this announce­ment, he began serv­ing as Chief Oper­at­ing Offi­cer (COO), a role he will ful­fill until the cur­rent CEO, Paul Basha, retires after 34 years of ser­vice to YEC on June 11.

Spencer joined York Elec­tric in 1992. Since 2003, he has served as the Vice Pres­i­dent of Engi­neer­ing, and he has played an inte­gral role in the cooperative’s expan­sion and suc­cess. With more than 30 years of expe­ri­ence in the util­i­ty indus­try at York Elec­tric, Spencer offers a well-round­ed under­stand­ing of the cooperative’s oper­a­tions, cul­ture and mem­ber needs.
