In a deregulated electricity market, traditional electric companies supply service to the areas that provide the highest profits. Electric cooperatives are different; we originated to serve customers overlooked by these commercial operations—such as customers in rural areas—while providing them with the same quality of electric service. At NEC Co-op Energy, our goal is to give our members reliable electric service while being honest and upfront about our rates. As the only non-profit retail electric cooperative in Texas, we believe that everyone deserves affordable, dependable electric service.
