TEXT OUTAGES
In rural areas across the state, Aiken Electric and other not-for-profit cooperatives spend -thousands of dollars per year repairing equipment, power lines and fiber optic cables that have been struck by a stray shot. Repairs can be very costly, and we strive to keep operating expenses down for all members by making every effort to recover costs from any party responsible for facility damages. We need your help – please join us in this collaborative effort to keep “unplanned” maintenance and repair costs for our members as low as possible. Read More.
As part of our ongoing advancements and enhancements to our service system, Aiken Electric Cooperative has been upgrading electric power meters. We have completed the residential portion of this process and will be working to upgrade commercial meters for the next several months in an effort to improve our outage monitoring system and increase our responsiveness out in the field. All metering personnel will have Aiken Electric Cooperative uniforms and be in a truck clearly marked with our logo. They will also have official Aiken Electric Cooperative wallet identification. Thank you for your patience as we continue our efforts to better serve you, our members.
CEO's Message
Wow, What a turnout!
PARTICIPATION IS a cornerstone of the cooperative business model. And as members of Aiken Electric, you showed once again how important your cooperative is to you. So much so that we registered a total of 3,910 members at this year’s Annual Meeting - the largest number in ten years!
This year, members reelected four trustee candidates: J. Strom Thurmond, Jr., of District 6 (New Ellenton), Scott Riddle of District 8 (Neeses/Wagener), Adam Livingston of District 9 (North) and Robert Curry, At-Large trustee.
During the virtual business meeting, I spoke about Aiken Electric’s commitment to empowering, powering and connecting communities for 86 years. Our partnership with CarolinaConnect continues to prove a success. Recently, we announced that CarolinaConnect will also provide mobile phone service, which will be available to everyone, not just Aiken Electric members. I also discussed our electric system growth and highlighted our key accomplishments over the past year. I encourage you to visit our website to view the video.
On behalf of all our employees, I want to tell you that we are proud to be your power provider. As a member-owned electric utility, our mission is to provide our members with quality services at a fair and reasonable price.
Thank you for making our Annual Meeting a success and allowing us to serve you. To hear more about our meeting, please visit our website at aikenco-op.org.

Help hold down power costs! Join thousands of electric cooperative members in South Carolina in managing your energy use during peak times. Peaks occur on the coldest winter mornings and hottest summer afternoons, when the demand for electricity, and the cost for it, is the highest.
Together, we can keep rates affordable, delay the need for new power plants and make the future brighter.
