Community is Everything

We believe community is everything at Escambia River Electric Cooperative (EREC).

Our employees don’t just work here, they live here. They attend local churches, their children go to neighborhood schools, and their families are part of the same community we proudly serve. That’s why we care deeply about giving back.

It’s been a busy month for EREC. We were honored to take part in several local events, including the annual Egg Drop at the Blue Jacket Jamboree in Escambia County and Career Day at Central School. EREC staffers also gave bucket rides to students and adults at Central School’s F.A.R.M. Day, and they spoke to students at Northview High School as part of the Fresh From Florida advocacy program.

All of this happened during the day, while at night our crews worked hard to keep the lights on and power flowing safely.

We love what we do, and we’re proud to serve and support the people who make our community such a special place.
