A MESSAGE FROM YOUR GENERAL MANAGER/CEO

Rising Costs, A Sign of the Times

I don’t know about you, but at my house, we’re bombarded with information. Among the TV, daily piles of junk mail, email, social media, the radio and even random phone calls, it just never seems to end. Everybody seems to be selling something, and it can be hard to know who to trust.

But one thing I know for sure: You can trust your neighbors. So call us first.

At Wharton County Electric Cooperative, we’re not in the business of making profits, as other utilities are. We’re in the business of powering communities and empowering our members. We’re your friends and neighbors, and we live right here in the same community. We go to the same stores, churches and restaurants, and we work for you.

We know consumers have more options than ever nowadays. You can produce your own electricity at your home or business, store that power, and use it to power electric vehicles or even your house.

As a nonprofit, community-focused cooperative that was built by the very communities it powers, we have a duty to share our specialized energy knowledge with our members. We want to make sure you have all the very best information when it comes to making decisions about electricity that can impact your future.

So if you get a flyer about solar power and wonder if it might be right for your home, call us first. Everybody’s situation is different, and your co-op can give an unbiased assessment of yours.

Thinking about ordering a whole-home generator? Call us first. We can help make sure you buy reputable products from reputable sources that are sized and installed correctly to safely power your home.

Wondering if it’s feasible to add an electric vehicle to your garage? Call us first. We can recommend a trusted professional who can price out and install a home charging system.
