Our Newest Stories
Our first issue of 2026 is packed with content, ranging from energy tips, to info on our billing practices, to insight into the electric industry, and more!
Our main story discusses energy reliability in our region and the U.S. and the factors that may affect it, including wild weather trends and shifting government policy. Connecting this national viewpoint to our local area, we also celebrate the long career of Tom Madsen, from our board of directors, who is now stepping back from our national association, the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, and their national board of directors after 23 years. Another one of our directors, Brad Sparta, will succeed him to continue representing NJ on national matters.
We also present information on the Medical Alert program, paperless billing, and more. Be sure to read the full issue to catch everything!
