Traditionally, the local cooperative does more than provide electric service to the community; in many areas, it’s a major economic driver. As our mission statement explains, our co-op is committed to the community and to enhancing the quality of life in Southern Maryland. Because we are owned by our members, we take this aspect of our business very seriously.
