Your board in action

Dis­cus­sion con­tin­ues in the board room about new tech­nolo­gies that help your co-op serve mem­bers. Gath­er­ing data from meter­ing devices is key to mea­sur­ing indi­vid­ual ener­gy use for future elec­tric needs. Updates to our sys­tem will be com­ing soon. Addi­tion­al­ly, the board has decid­ed it will be nec­es­sary to increase our elec­tric rates in 2025. To min­i­mize the impact to mem­bers, dis­cus­sions will con­tin­ue through Octo­ber to deter­mine the final num­ber mem­bers can expect.
