REC is committed to the communities we serve. Every year we award scholarships and grants, as well as participate in over 200 events throughout our service territory, sharing information about electric safety, energy efficiency and more.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

From farmers markets to county fairs you can often see your cooperative in the community making an impact.

THE POWER OF CHANGE

Members can donate to local charities through REC by rounding up their electric bill.

SCHOLARSHIPS

REC helps local high school seniors, trade school, and college students achieve their educational goals through community program scholarships.

Each year, students from REC’s service territory travel to Washington, D.C., to explore key issues in the electric industry and meet their members of Congress.
