Most people know us as their local electric provider, but Oak Hill Electric is much more than that — we’re a not-for-profit, member-owned cooperative.
Unlike investor-owned utilities that send profits to shareholders, we exist solely to serve our members. Oak Hill Electric was founded when neighbors came together to bring electricity to rural areas that for-profit companies had left in the dark. That same spirit of cooperation still drives us today.
|
|
|
As a co-op, we operate under seven guiding principles that ensure our members’ needs come first:
|
 |
Voluntary and Open Membership |
|
Everyone in our service area is welcome.
|
| Democratic Member Control |
 |
|
Members elect our board of directors.
|
|
Member Economic Participation |
|
Members share in the co-op’s success.
|
| Autonomy and Independence |
|
|
Decisions are made locally, for local benefit.
|
|
Education, Training, and Information |
|
Empowering members and employees.
|
| Cooperation Among Cooperatives |
|
|
Working with other co-ops to serve you better.
|
|
Concern for Community |
|
Investing time and resources where we live.
|
|
|
At Oak Hill Electric, you’re not just a customer — you’re an owner, a neighbor, and a vital part of our story.
