What is a Co-op?
Cooperatives are not-for-profit, consumer-owned businesses. Electric cooperatives were formed in the 1930s with the specific task of electrifying rural America. South Carolina’s electric cooperatives now serve over half a million members, or nearly one-third of the population of our state. Together, that makes them larger than any other utility in the state in the total number of members served.
