Co-ops are special for many reasons, and one of the greatest is their concern for others. Co-ops commonly work behind the scenes to help the people and communities they serve. After all, Concern for Community is one of the seven principles all co-ops were built on and operate by.

Since the first electric co-op community support fund was created in 1993, more than $26.5 MILLION has been donated by co-ops to local organizations, projects, charitable causes, and individuals in need. Not only do co-ops provide reliable electricity at-cost to their members, but they’re also giving back where they can, when they can, to those who need it most.

Google plans to fund a three-year, 100-MW virtual power plant in the PJM Interconnection, which manages the flow of electricity across 13 eastern U.S. states, including Ohio. The tech giant is partnering with Voltus in a first-of-its-kind deal that will tap EVs, smart thermostats, and batteries to help meet soaring data center demand. A new model for grid flexibility may be taking shape. Read more from Utility Dive ➡️ https://bit.ly/4fnpeWt.
