Our primary mission is to safely, responsibly and reliably meet the electrical energy needs of our member-owners.

  • Safely means that we put the safety of our employees and the public above any other concern.
  • Responsibly means that we provide affordable, equitable and environmentally responsible services for the benefit of our collective membership. 
  • Reliably means that we work proactively to keep electric service available to our members and diligently to restore service when outages occur.
