About Us

What is a Cooperative?

Unlike most oth­er busi­ness­es, your elec­tric coop­er­a­tive is a local­ly-owned, mem­ber-con­trolled, non-prof­it asso­ci­a­tion.

Our History, Past to Present

CEC was orga­nized in 1940 as a mem­ber-owned non-prof­it to be gov­erned by a Board of Trustees elect­ed by mem­bers.

Cooperative Principles

We’re guid­ed by sev­en inter­na­tion­al­ly rec­og­nized prin­ci­ples like those adopt­ed by one of the first co-ops in 1844.

Your Board of Trustees

Meet the Board of Trustees who are elect­ed by Coastal Elec­tric mem­bers and entrust­ed to over­see the orga­ni­za­tion.

Coastal Electric Leadership

Meet the expe­ri­enced, ded­i­cat­ed lead­er­ship team guid­ing the day-to-day oper­a­tions of Coastal Elec­tric Coop­er­a­tive.
