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.”
