Over the past several months, like so many of you, we’ve risen to meet new challenges and strengthen the safety net for our community, particularly for those who are most vulnerable. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve made numerous adjustments to programs and operations to maintain business continuity while staying focused on the bigger mission of helping our members during this turbulent time.
While our purpose is to provide safe and reliable energy to you, the members we serve, we have a greater mission––to be a catalyst for good.
You’re probably aware of our RECare program, where we take donations from generous members like you who have donated on their electric bill to help our most vulnerable neighbors pay their bills. Or our college scholarship program, where we offer scholarships to our local students.
PCEA invests in the economic development of the community through an active role in our local PACE Alliance, and we’ve pumped millions back into the economy through our USDA loan programs.
We know that our core job is to keep the lights on; but our passion is our community. Because we live and work here too, and we want to make it a better place for all.
If there’s anything we can do to help you––whether providing energy-saving advice to help lower your monthly bill or discuss payment plan options during these difficult times––please reach out to us at Pella Cooperative Electric. Concern for community is the heart and soul of who we are. And no matter what the future brings, you can count on your electric co-op to care about you.
