Why We’re Involved

From edu­ca­tion­al oppor­tu­ni­ties to spon­sor­ships, CEC has always been involved in our com­mu­ni­ty.

Program Sponsorships

While focus­ing on mem­ber needs, we also sup­port the com­mu­ni­ty through spon­sor­ships and dona­tions.

Operation Round Up

Mem­bers opt to have their bills round­ed up to the near­est dol­lar, and those Round Up funds go to local caus­es. 

Economic Development

Our co-op par­tic­i­pates and invests in the growth and health of eco­nom­ic engines in our area.

Politically Engaged

A strong grass­roots pres­ence in the polit­i­cal process is key to the long-term suc­cess of elec­tric co-ops.

Beat the Peak and Everyone Saves Money and Energy

Coastal Electric’s Beat the Peak pro­gram is a free and vol­un­tary effort to help con­trol ener­gy costs for all coop­er­a­tive mem­bers. Beat the Peak aims to reduce elec­tric­i­ty use dur­ing the time of day when pow­er use peaks, such as win­ter morn­ings when tem­per­a­tures are often at their low­est or late sum­mer after­noons when tem­per­a­tures are high­est. Sign up today at the Beat the Peak web­site, where you can select to receive Beat the Peak alerts by text mes­sage, email, or phone call.

Together, We Can Weather the Storm

The coop­er­a­tive spir­it is about work­ing togeth­er for the good of all mem­bers and the com­mu­ni­ty as a whole. That’s why we want to keep you informed about safe­ty dur­ing storms and the pow­er out­ages that may result from the weath­er, from how to pre­pare an emer­gency kit to expec­ta­tions for pow­er restora­tion for you and your neigh­bors. Let’s all do our part.
