Having done business with the "biggies" I was happy to have an opportunity to deal with an Electric Coop when I moved here.
An electric co-op is a private, independent electric company owned by the customers they serve. This results in a few benefits for the customers, one being lower rates. Other benefits are an annual return on the profits made, which go right back into the customers pockets, and a community oriented business focused on the customer.
The service is perfect from this company, having had them come out to my house on one occasion because the transformer fuse broke. It was raining, it was cold and yet, within an hour of my calling them, a service crew was here and they fixed the problem immediately. They even stuck around a bit to make sure the problem didn't return.
A nice company to do business with, great service and good pricing.
