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.
