“Many electric co-op employees live in the communities we serve. They are proud to work for an organization that supports the community and allows them to spend an entire career doing something they love. But they’re not just loyal—they’re truly nice people. Our network of 20 systems working together with this type of employee is what makes us remarkable. We rely on each other and the capable leadership at PowerSouth.” —Russell Dunaway, Executive Vice President/CEO

“Our members are the fabric of this country, the salt of the earth, the people that feed us and volunteer for the military. If electric cooperatives didn’t exist, people couldn’t live in rural America. We stand in the gap to preserve American values. What we do at Wiregrass Electric Cooperative is important. My employees can be proud of what they do. We make a difference.” —Les Moreland, CEO

“It all started in Andalusia, in this area. We had our own little diesel generator downtown where they generated power. At night, they’d turn the thing off. At some point, they realized that unless we stepped up, we were going to be left behind—and that’s when the leaders of these small utilities got together and created AEC. That’s when the world changed.” —Earl V. Johnson, Mayor, City of Andalusia
