a quality of life partner

Electric power associations began forming more than 75 yearsago to meet rural Mississippi’s unserved need for affordable, reliable electric service. In communities across the state, citizensjoined to form their own electric cooperative, or electric powerassociation.

Electric power associations transformed life in rural Mississippi,where darkness and manual labor prevailed for decades aftercities and towns were electrified. Beyond lighting homes, electricpower associations helped boost farm productivity, openeddoors for business and industry, and fostered job opportunities.

Technology has since transformed our operations, but oneaspect will never change: our founders’ vision to provide a vitalservice at the low est cost possible. And our service is still “Madein Mississippi” by Mississippians. With a work force exceeding2,900, plus 225 co-op members serving on electric power association boards, our powerful network serves more than 1.8 million Mississippians.
