This spooky season, keep home energy use and décor safety in check. Stop energy vampires from unnecessary consumption and double check electrical cords for damage. From your friends at Southeastern Electric Cooperative, we hope you have a safe and frightfully-fun Halloween! 🎃💚

This month we are celebrating the following employee's anniversaries. Thank you for your dedication to Southeastern Electric Cooperative! 👏 - Bob Kalda (33 years) - Jason Peterson (47 years) - Leland Anderson (13 years) - Casey Sichmeller (4 years)

As we wrap up National Co-op Month, we hope you know that for SEC, being an electric cooperative isn’t simply about delivering electricity. It’s about serving you, our members, in ways that strengthen our entire community.

We love our members, and it's time to show it! ❤️ You're invited to our Member Appreciation Events! Join us for all-you-can-eat pancakes and sausages—on us! It's our small way of saying thanks for being such a valuable part of our community. We can't wait to see you! 🥞

Electric co-ops are places to build a career, develop your skills & make a difference in the community you call home. Whether you’re keeping the lights on, helping a member save energy, maintaining critical infrastructure or supporting the people who do, your work matters.

Scheduling system maintenance now can help your heating system run more efficiently this winter. Replace your air filter regularly and schedule a professional tune-up before the winter chill arrives. A well-maintained system can improve comfort and help manage energy use.

SEC knows the best solutions start with listening. Because our members guide our future, we’re able to focus on what matters most here at home. Local voices. Local leadership. Local solutions. That’s just one of the many reasons we celebrate the cooperative difference in October.

Electric co-ops need talented people in the field, in the office and everywhere in between. From lineworkers, engineers and system operators to accounting, communications, accounting and IT, there’s a place for many different skills and interests at an electric co-op.

The @NRECAYouthTourDC isn’t just about seeing monuments, it’s about building your future. Here’s what’s waiting for you in D.C.: - Confidence to lead in any room - Connections with 1,800+ student leaders nationwide - Skills and experiences that launch your professional journey

Utility impersonation scams are increasingly convincing. A scammer may claim SEC is about to disconnect your service, then demand immediate payment through an unusual method. If you receive an unexpected payment request, pause & verify it. Call SEC at 1-800-333-2859 to verify.

Co-ops come in all shapes and sizes, but each has something important in common: co-ops reflect the communities they serve. No two co-ops––or even electric co-ops for that matter––are exactly alike… because every community has unique needs.

We're saying THANK YOU to our amazing members with our member appreciation events! It's completely FREE to attend—just bring your appetite! 🥞 Join us: Nov. 5: Alcester Nov. 6: Viborg Nov. 7: Sioux Falls Your membership means the world to us. See you there!

🚨 FARM SAFETY TIP 🚨 If your equipment makes contact with a power line, call 911 and contact your energy provider. STAY IN THE CAB until local authorities have declared the area safe. Watch this video to learn more:

Thermostat settings can make a big difference on energy bills. On cooler days, lower the thermostat and raise it during days that are warmer. On milder days, consider turning off your heating/cooling system altogether.

As we celebrate National Co-op Month, recognizing our members is a must! Members are the heart of co-ops. Unlike traditional businesses that are led by investors or shareholders, co-ops are led by the members they serve––and that positively impacts priorities.

Electric cooperatives are member-owned, non-profit utilities that put community first. By working together in a three-tier network—from local neighborhood power lines to regional generation plants—co-ops ensure our region receives safe and reliable energy buff.ly/XXVmr1z
