We ❤️ October, and it’s not just because college football is in full swing and pumpkin spice lattes are back. It’s National Co-op Month!! This month and every month, we’re so happy to have you as a member of Baldwin EMC. #CoopMonth

Co-ops exist for one reason: to serve their members. We’re proud to be your energy partner! Are you taking advantage of the benefits of membership? Check out these programs and services we offer to help you save energy (and money!) bit.ly/3M8Tzao

Co-ops stand the test of time! Baldwin EMC was created by our community, for our community, 85 years ago. As our members’ needs have grown and changed, so have we. That’s the secret to our staying power! #CoopMonth

From democratic board elections, to capital credits, to bylaw amendments – when you’re a member of a cooperative, you have unique rights and privileges you wouldn’t get from other utility providers. We think that’s pretty special, and we hope you do, too! #CoopMonth

All Baldwin EMC offices will be closed Monday, October 10, for employee training. Please call (251) 989-6247 if you need us!
