For Ms. Fisher, a home improvement project became an opportunity for lower energy bills, greater comfort, and added peace of mind.

Through Choptank Electric Cooperative's Manufactured Homes program, updates to her home have helped reduce energy costs while creating a more comfortable and energy-efficient place to live.

Her experience shows what’s possible when cooperatives put their members and communities at the heart of what they do.

Hear Ms. Fisher share her story and learn how investments in homes can make a lasting difference for families and help create stronger communities.

Where you come from matters 💡

For ODEC and the electric cooperatives we serve, our story began with a simple belief: no community should be left behind.

More than 75 years later, that same commitment continues to guide everything we do. Because reliable, affordable energy does more than power homes and businesses. It powers opportunity.

Our new brand video tells the story behind a belief that has guided us for generations: access to energy is access to opportunity.

Dolly Parton's legacy extends far beyond music. Her lifelong commitment to strengthening rural communities, expanding opportunity, and improving the lives of the people who call them home reflects the same spirit of service and community that has long been at the heart of America's electric cooperatives.

Through support of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, ODEC and our members have witnessed the lasting impact of her vision, helping put books into the hands of children across our service territory.

In recognition of her extraordinary contributions and enduring legacy, ODEC will lower its flags to half-staff in her honor.

She will be deeply missed, but the impact of her life and service will be felt for generations to come ❤️

Community is at the heart of the cooperative model, and Community Electric Cooperative's Annual Meeting was a great reminder of what makes that model so powerful.

ODEC was proud to join cooperative members, leaders, and local stakeholders, including Senator Emily Jordan, to celebrate the people and partnerships that help power the members we serve.

Through the strength of our cooperative network, we're helping deliver reliable, affordable power while powering opportunities for the families, businesses, and communities that depend on us.
