Our focus is on you
I have spent the last three months talking about many challenges electric utilities face, from rising prices to aging infrastructure to global instabilities. We have discussed new equipment, technologies, and strategies for meeting those challenges. But getting from here to a successful future won’t happen simply by making the right changes at the right time…. Continue reading.
Delivering power to you
We have all come through another holiday season, and more and more people buy their gifts online and have them delivered each year. While I personally prefer to shop in the store so I can handle the product before I make a purchase, the convenience and value of ordering online and having it shipped directly… Continue reading.
Preparing for the future
In December, we are reminded of what matters most. For many of us, that means family and friends. Others will focus on the memories of loved ones lost and of good times gone by. Here at REMC, we also carve out time to examine our priorities and plan for the future. That includes keeping our… Continue reading.
As Time Goes by, Costs Go Up
Is it just me, or do you, too, incredulously wonder if time is flying by quicker than usual? I mean, it seems like yesterday that news reports focused on the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago, and locally we were praying for the thousands of families displaced by extreme flooding in eastern Kentucky. Those memorable events, though,… Continue reading.
Celebrating National Co-op Month
As summer winds down and fall rolls in, I find myself reflecting on how good it is to be part of a community like this. Providing safe, affordable electricity is our primary mission, but being a cooperative means we go beyond the basics whenever we can. From supporting local 4-H fairs to showcasing our vehicles… Continue reading.
Putting Our Best Foot Forward
Over the last couple of years, the federal government has promised billions of dollars to help secure and modernize the nation’s electric grid, while also supporting the transition to cleaner, renewable energy. Not all Americans agree on the right path to reach our energy goals, but at Clark County REMC, we believe in seizing every… Continue reading.
You can make a difference
Community. It’s the place you call home. It’s where you raise your kids and buy your groceries. Community is made of that special blend of family and neighbors, sports and churches, fond memories and bright futures. At Clark County REMC, we have been focused on the importance of our community for the last 84 years…. Continue reading.
Join us at the REMC Jamboree
What do you call a Saturday afternoon with thousands of dollars in prize drawings, live music from the band Caribou, ice cream treats, inflatables, a live animal show from Silly Safaris and free gifts for every family? Well, in the past we would have called that the REMC Annual Meeting, but starting in 2023, we’re… Continue reading.
Investing in our future
If you turn on the news or scroll through social media, it won’t take long to find a headline that gives you pause. The top stories of the last year were about soaring inflation, COVID-19 variants, international war, climate change and political gridlock. And if that’s all we focus on, we may miss all of… Continue reading.
Hard working and community minded
December is finally here! I first stepped into the offices at Clark County REMC just under one year ago, and I am still humbled by how fortunate I am to work with some of the hardest-working, community-minded people I’ve ever known. From 4-H festivals to high school career fairs to community service projects, it’s been… Continue reading.
I want to say thank you
Typically, the monthly CEO article is a place to talk about new programs or issues that matter to co-op members. But for November, I want to pause and focus on something that matters more to me than any headline or company announcement. I want to say thank you. Why am I thankful? There aren’t enough… Continue reading.
