Ownership Matters for Community

When we own something, we tend to treat it with greater care. Whether it’s your home, car, or other valuable belongings, knowing that you worked hard for something makes it all the more valuable. It’s not just the physical good; it’s a sense of pride.

Chances are, you probably don’t think too often about your ownership role with your electric co-op. But every member of Fannin Electric Cooperative can take pride in being an owner of the utility.

While it may seem easy to take the supply of electricity for granted, we work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to make sure you, our member-owners, are well taken care of when it comes to your electricity needs.

Locally based cooperatives believe this special bond and obligation play an integral role in creating community. Fannin EC understands that you can’t sell electricity to a business that has closed its doors or to people who have left the area because there aren’t enough opportunities.

Electricity is a critical need, but it takes more than just poles, wires, and kilowatt-hours to make a community.

That sense of ownership brings care and attention into our community, creating local solutions that help keep money—and people—right here.

We all have a role to play. As your local electric cooperative, we’re committed to doing our part for you. You own the co-op, and we welcome your active participation.
