WHY REC HAS AFFILIATES
Meeting Today’s Needs While Preparing for Tomorrow
REC’s current suite of affiliates were born out of risk management to exist for a simple reason: to continue providing our members with value while strengthening the cooperative’s ability to deliver safe, reliable, affordable and sustainable energy solutions.
As the energy industry evolves to meet new demand from large-scale energy users like data centers, address growing cyber threats and harness new technology to get the most out of the grid, REC is ready. Through our affiliates, REC is able to:
Support significant energy growth
without compromising service to existing members.
Protect members from cost shifts
by ensuring large users pay their fair share.
Invest in cybersecurity and data analytics
that strengthen and protect the grid and our systems.
Develop revenues
that may be used to offset co-op costs.
Leverage specialized expertise
outside of traditional electric operations.
This approach allows REC to remain focused on its core mission of delivering safe, reliable and affordable electricity while responsibly planning for a sustainable future.
FOCUSED ON WHAT MATTERS MOST
Every decision REC makes, including the creation of affiliated businesses, is guided by one priority: delivering value to the members we serve.
By planning ahead, investing responsibly and leveraging specialized expertise, REC is building a system that is:
- More resilient
- More adaptable
- Ready to meet the energy needs of today—and tomorrow
