Almost eight thousand attendees were thrilled to be in Nashville in early March for NRECA's 2022 Annual Meeting, now called PowerXchange. It marked the first in-person Annual Meeting since March 2019 in New Orleans and under the new name.
PUF's Lori Burkhart: Why are supply chain issues important to cooperatives?
Randy Shaw: Peace River Electric Cooperative serves in the south-central portion of the Florida peninsula. We are a distribution cooperative serving over fifty-five thousand accounts, and we had a 6.9 percent growth in customer accounts last year.
Our mission is to provide our members with reliable electric service and excellent customer care at affordable rates. Supply chain disruptions threaten the reliability and affordability of our electric service, which is two-thirds of our mission statement.
