ENERGY SERVICES

YEC wants to help you achieve your budgeting and energy efficiency goals. We offer discounted rates on smart thermostats and whole house generators, free energy saving tools and programs, and more.

CAPITAL CREDITS

Capital Credits are the only form of equity a member-owned utility has. Each year, all revenue over and above expenses is assigned by the Cooperative to each member’s Capital Credits Account. The amount of your Capital Credits is determined by your yearly payments for electricity.

Trade a Tree

TRADE A TREE

York Electric’s Trade A Tree Program helps members replace trees that must be removed by the co-op to ensure service reliability.

Call 811 Before You Dig811 CALL BEFORE YOU DIG

Before you begin a project, such as installing a new fence, planting shrubbery or trees, take into account that underground electric service or other utility lines may be present. If you’re not absolutely sure where any underground lines are located on your property, call 811.

Operation Round UpOPERATION ROUND UP®

For only pennies a month or approximately $6 a year, by rounding up your monthly electric bill, York Electric’s giving program allows each member to help make a difference for those in our communities who need it most.

Washington Youth TourEDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

York Electric is proud to offer some great opportunities for youth education. First, we award numerous annual scholarships – including $1,000 Touchstone Energy® Scholarships – to high school seniors.

YEC also sponsors local high school juniors on an all-expense-paid trip to our nation’s capital for a chance to see our government in action as part of the annual, week-long Washington Youth Tour.

Finally, during the annual Cooperative Youth Summit in July, we sponsor local high school juniors to experience our state capital with a tour of the statehouse, a chance to meet lawmakers, and visits to Columbia attractions.

We regularly offer safety demonstrations to students and other groups throughout our service area in an effort to teach important safety lessons to the participants. See detailed information pertaining to the safe use of electricity.
