Pee Dee
Electric Cooperative
Web Site Link:
www.peedeeelectric.com
 Established
in 1939 to serve those areas that investor-owned utilities deemed
unprofitable, Pee Dee Electric Cooperative is more than a rural
electricity supplier. The cooperative provides low-cost, reliable
electricity and other services to residential communities, commercial
establishments, and industries across the Pee Dee region.
Locally owned by the member-owners it serves, Pee Dee Electric Cooperative
is governed by a Board of Trustees elected by the membership at annual
meetings held to conduct the business of the cooperative. Trustees are
local member-owners of the cooperative representing membership districts
in six counties of the Pee Dee region. Daily operations are managed by the
president and chief executive officer.
Pee Dee Electric Cooperative is growing rapidly with more than 30,000
services in place serving residents, businesses and industries, and 3,700+
miles of line in Chesterfield, Darlington, Dillon, Florence, Lee, and
Marion counties.
In 1998, Pee Dee Electric joined a growing alliance of electric
cooperatives nationwide that have united under the Touchstone Energy®
brand to prepare for changes in the utility marketplace. Touchstone
Energy® and The power of human connections® represents cooperatives’
unique characteristics in a marketplace where differences matter more and
more every day.
Economic Development strives to attract new manufacturing, retail
and industrial facilities to the Pee Dee area. But that’s only half the
job. Economic Development also works closely with existing industry to aid
in any expansions or new projects.
The Economic Development Department at Pee Dee Electric serves the
member-owners in two distinctive ways. First, by bringing new industry or
expansions of existing industry to the region the tax base increases, new
employees are hired and regional growth continues. Second, because new
business means more power usage and, because our cost of electricity is
based on quantity and, because we sell power at cost, the savings
generated in purchasing more electricity are passed on to our residential
member-owners as well as our commercial and industrial accounts. The more
we buy, the less it costs for everyone. This is a major reason basic power
rates have not increased since 1983.
