Bill > S0314

This resolution recognizes South Carolina's electric cooperatives by officially designating February 13, 2025, as Electric Co-Op Day at the State House. The resolution highlights the cooperatives' critical response to Hurricane Helene in fall 2024, during which approximately 3,500 line workers helped restore power to 425,000 members within fourteen days after significant infrastructure damage. The resolution emphasizes the importance of electric cooperatives in delivering safe, reliable, and affordable electricity to nearly two million South Carolinians, particularly in rural areas, and acknowledges their role in supporting economic development. On the designated day, the state's electric cooperative trustees, CEOs, and employees will visit the State House to express gratitude to the General Assembly, host a legislative luncheon, and discuss the essential contributions of electric cooperatives to the state. The resolution formally acknowledges the cooperatives' efforts and instructs that a copy of the resolution be presented to the Electric Cooperatives of South Carolina.
