What's another way we bring you power?
By making educational outreach a top priority
As your Touchstone Energy cooperative, York Electric has made community commitment one of our top priorities. By awarding scholarships, York Electric wants to help students reach their educational goals. We firmly believe our educational efforts can have a far-reaching effect not only for the individuals we help but for the community at-large. And when it comes to community commitment, we believe educational outreach is one of the most important things we can ever offer.
