We’re heartened to see that the updated #HEROESAct addresses the financial struggles that electric #coops and rural Americans are experiencing due to #COVID19.

Update! We have 14 crews from six S.C. co-ops heading to Louisiana to help with power restoration. They are: @HorryElectric (1 crew) @BerkeleyElectr3 (4 crews) @NewberryCoop (1 crew) @SanteeElectric ( 2 crews) @FairfieldCoopSC (2 crews) @blueridgecoop (4 crews)




Rural electric cooperatives could use some economic relief #COVID19 — @NRECANews is pushing Congress to eliminate prepayment penalties on RUS debt so co-ops could refinance loans and save members money. Sounds like a good plan! @TECtwwi powermag.com/rural-electric…





Today, the House Subcommittee on Energy of the Committee on Energy and Commerce will hold a hearing to examine the impacts of #COVID19 on the energy industry. Find NRECA’s statement here: bit.ly/3d68iQg #PowerOn




Rural electric cooperatives provide vital services in their communities & we appreciate @USTreasury + the administration working with us to ensure that rural electric co-ops are eligible for the #PaycheckProtectionProgram. bit.ly/3csZK6J
