In 1939, the people of the Wiregrass formed a cooperative to create a better way of life through the power of electricity. For 80 years, Wiregrass Electric Cooperative has fulfilled that mission, from first bringing electricity to farmers and families in the 1940s to providing reliable, affordable service today.
While WEC’s mission and values are unchanged, the cooperative has improved technology and facilities while continuing to emphasize a commitment to safety.
As it fulfills its mission, WEC embraces seven cooperative principles. In the next seven issues of Alabama Living, our cooperative will focus on each of these principles and explain how WEC works to live up to them daily.
