Our linemen always love a visit from Little Miss Rehobeth, Mia Sawyers (especially when she comes bearing snacks)! She sure knows the way to a lineman’s heart! 🍭🍪❤️

Through her “Powering Kindness” initiative, Mia continues to show appreciation for those in her community, and we’re always grateful when she thinks of our crews. 🫶🏽

Thank you, Mia, for keeping our linemen fueled and for always showing them a little extra kindness!

Wiregrass Electric Cooperative was proud to join our wholesale power provider, PowerSouth Energy Cooperative, and local business leaders for a special dinner featuring Dr. Ed Bridges, retired Director of the Alabama Department of Archives and History.

At Wiregrass Electric, we believe strong relationships lead to stronger communities. We continually look for opportunities to build and strengthen relationships with business leaders and local, state, and national officials who share a commitment to serving rural Alabama.

Events like this give us an opportunity to connect and build relationships that strengthen our cooperative and the communities we serve. These relationships are especially important as we work strategically to keep energy affordable and reliable for our members while advocating for the needs and future of rural America.

We’re grateful for every opportunity to bring people together, strengthen relationships, and help ensure rural communities continue to thrive.
