Tri County Electric Cooperative

Company Overview

First, it's important to note the key contrasts that set our cooperative apart compared to for-profit utilities. You might not know that our members enjoy an authentic Bill of Rights which encompasses the right to obtain trustworthy, budget-friendly, and safe electrical service as well as the right to come together to establish and run a not-for-profit electric service. In a cooperative model, each customer are treated fairly and equitably. This fairness is achieved by our dedicated management and employees, but also by a Board of Trustees elected by the members. This exemplifies the pinnacle of consumer security. Furthermore, cooperatives are guided by seven foundational principles which guarantee just attention for consumers from the utility they own. These principles include fairness, transparency, member governance, autonomy, education, skill development, and access to information, as well as mutual support among cooperatives that enables the benefits of united actions to be utilized for the benefit of the cooperative community. The final principle focuses on community well-being. While cooperatives prioritize, they remain dedicated to improving the communities they support.
