A Holiday Message from Ray Grinberg, Tri-County EMC CEO

The end of each year is a time where we wrap up projects for the year and look forward to the opportunities of the next. These past few years have had their fair share of challenges with COVID, supply chain issues and challenging economic times. As we move forward into the next year, we want to look into the positive. While there are still unknowns with power costs and inflation, we have many things to be thankful for. We have a supportive board of directors and a dedicated group of employees that put our members first. We deliver quality electric service to our members. And our fiber internet project continues to grow as we officially enter Phase 2 of Tri-CoGo. 

Since January, we have awarded $13,000 in scholarships to local students and more than $70,000 in Operation Roundup Grants to fund special projects in our community. We will end the year by awarding $30,000 in grants to local teachers to execute classroom projects. And the best part of these community efforts is that these programs are funded through members voluntarily rounding their bill to the next dollar or from unclaimed capital credits – none from the general budget.

We are looking forward to 2023 and the many great things to come. As always, the safety of our members and employees is our top priority. A safe and happy holiday season is our Christmas wish for you!
