Community

Investing where we serve

Your power bill doesn't enrich distant shareholders - it builds the community where you live, work, and raise your family.

Member-owned co-operatives prioritize local investment
over profit extraction. From employing your neighbours to sponsoring community events, from safety education programs to emergency response training, we’re integrated into the fabric of rural Alberta life. This commitment to community isn’t just our mission; it’s the co-operative difference that sets member-owned utilities apart from investor-owned corporations focused solely on maximizing shareholder returns.

Our community impact

Local employment creates lasting economic impact

Unlike utilities headquartered in distant cities, our co-ops employ local residents who understand rural needs firsthand. These aren’t just jobs – they’re careers building community infrastructure, developing local expertise, and keeping skilled professionals in rural Alberta. When equipment fails at midnight or wildfire threatens, the technicians responding are your neighbours who have personal stakes in community safety and reliability.

Making a difference

Community investment takes many forms – from Operation Round Up programs to safety education, scholarships to emergency preparedness training.
