Reliability and Affordability
Policymakers must approach energy policy with affordability and reliability at the core.
Issues & Policy
From booming suburbs to rural farming communities, America’s electric cooperatives are energy providers and engines of economic growth for 42 million Americans. Electric co-ops are built by and belong to the communities they serve. This means that co-ops are far more than just electricity providers. They are engines of economic development that power their communities and work to improve the quality of life in rural America.
