Our Commitment to Community

As a Touch­stone Ener­gy® coop­er­a­tive, we’re deeply com­mit­ted to the com­mu­ni­ties we serve, includ­ing sup­port­ing groups and events that enrich our mem­bers’ lives.

We work with state and local orga­ni­za­tions to attract new busi­ness and indus­try to our ser­vice area that cre­ate jobs – jobs that increase the local tax base, boost­ing rev­enue for every­thing from pub­lic parks to schools.

We also have a vest­ed inter­est in our chil­dren because they will deter­mine the future of our state. This is why we pro­vide learn­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties and schol­ar­ships to our young peo­ple, encour­ag­ing them how­ev­er we can to be the most they can be.

Co-op Connections®

York Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive, a Touch­stone Ener­gy® coop­er­a­tive, is proud to be an inte­gral part of the com­mu­ni­ties we serve and to be able to offer you perks. Co-op Con­nec­tions® is a pro­gram that gives you dis­counts on prod­ucts and ser­vices from par­tic­i­pat­ing local and nation­al busi­ness­es.

Operation Round Up®

By round­ing up pow­er bills to the next dol­lar, YEC con­tributes mon­ey to local char­i­ties that assist those in need. The aver­age mem­ber con­tributes about 50 cents a month, yet the dona­tions mean so much to our com­mu­ni­ty.

Scholarships & Trips

We believe edu­ca­tion­al out­reach and oppor­tu­ni­ties are some of the most impor­tant things we can offer our com­mu­ni­ty.

The Burrell Foundation

The Bur­rell Foun­da­tion works toward a bet­ter qual­i­ty of life for com­mu­ni­ties in York Elec­tric Cooperative’s ser­vice ter­ri­to­ries.
