Mission Statement: “To Be the Light That Empowers Our Communities.” 

This statement reflects our core responsibility, delivering reliable electrical service to our community. Viewed figuratively, it captures our broader purpose, to inspire, uplift and bring hope to those we serve. Its dual meaning allows it to resonate throughout every aspect of our work, serving as a powerful reminder of our dedication to both dependable service and meaningful community impact.

Our five core values are: Family, Safety, Innovation, Integrity and Excellence

These values guide everything we do, from how we treat one another to how we serve our members. We foster a family-like culture built on trust and respect, prioritize safety in every task, embrace innovation to drive progress, uphold integrity through honesty and accountability, and strive for excellence in every service we provide. Together, these values reflect who we are and what we stand for.

Motto and Philosophy: Safety & Members First!
