Mecklenburg
Electric
Cooperative is a member-owned, non-profit utility in south central Virginia. We
provide electricity to over 29,000 consumers in nine counties. All
members have a voice in the business affairs of the cooperative, with
one vote and the opportunity to attend the Annual Meeting in June to
elect their directors. All margins (profits) are set aside and
distributed among the members in proportion to their patronage.
These basic cooperative
principles truly provide for a democratically
controlled organization.
In
addition to providing our members with electricity, we make
extensive efforts to enhance the quality of life in our
community. We work with local
businesses, and city, county and state officials to bring business and
new industry
to Southside Virginia. We also support and help provide electrical
safety awareness programs in our area. In addition, we are active in
legislative and regulatory arenas in an effort to make sure that the
consumer always comes first. We are proudly owned by the
member-owners we serve.
