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.

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.
