Co-Op Day at the Statehouse

On Feb. 13, York Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive board mem­bers and employ­ees joined oth­er elec­tric coop­er­a­tives in bring­ing your voice to pol­i­cy mak­ers dur­ing Co-op Day at the State House. On behalf of the hun­dreds of thou­sands of co-op mem­bers across our state, we expressed a vision for a future that keeps elec­tric­i­ty safe, reli­able and afford­able.

For a long time, South Car­oli­na has had plen­ty of elec­tric­i­ty to meet mem­bers’ needs. But avail­abil­i­ty could become a real chal­lenge in the future. This year, the S.C. Gen­er­al Assem­bly will con­sid­er ener­gy poli­cies that will deter­mine how we meet your pow­er needs.

“It was a great day of col­lec­tive action by South Carolina’s elec­tric co-ops,” says YEC CEO Craig Spencer. “We’re for­tu­nate that these elect­ed offi­cials are our friends and neigh­bors and that they under­stand the needs of the co-op mem­bers and the com­mu­ni­ties we serve. But it is far from the end of our efforts to help shape our state’s ener­gy poli­cies for the bet­ter. As we move for­ward, rest assured York Elec­tric is doing every­thing in our pow­er to safe­guard South Carolina’s ener­gy future.”
