Who Are We? At Prince George Electric Cooperative, we are more than just an electric company. We're your neighbors, friends, and family. We're dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and affordable service while being connected to the communities we serve. Our History In December 1938, a group of leaders in the rural Disputanta area of Virginia acted on a vision of improved quality of life that residents in the rural areas of the state should have by having access to electric power, just like people in the cities. Consequently, Prince George Electric Cooperative was issued a charter by the State Corporation Commission on January 1, 1939. In August 1940, REA lines were electrified to serve about 300 customers over 165 miles of power lines in the rural areas of Prince George and Sussex counties. It was the first-time houses, many that had been wired for months, were able to offer the comforts of automatic overhead light and running water. Rural residents of Surry County requested that power lines be built to serve them also. The first Cooperative office was located in an old store in Disputanta in Prince George County - hence the name Prince George Electric Cooperative. In 1946, the office moved to a store in Waverly and built offices and a warehouse on its current location on Highway 460 in 1951. That site was renovated and expanded in 2004. The Cooperative has grown from that vision and now serves over 12,000 meters along 1,300 miles of power lines in 6 counties. Our members include residences, small and large businesses, large load commercial and industrial accounts, agriculture, public schools, and churches. Voluntary and Open Membership. Cooperatives are open to anyone able to use their services and willing to accept the responsibilities of membership. There is no discrimination based on gender, social status, race, political affiliation or religion. Democratic Member Control. Cooperatives are controlled directly by their members. Elected representatives are accountable to the membership, and members are expected to participate actively. Members' Economic Participation. Members control the capital of their cooperative and are expected to operate as a not-for-profit organization. If there is a surplus in capital, it is used to fund improvements or expansion, or it is credited to members. Autonomy and Independence. Cooperatives are autonomous, democratic and always controlled by members. Education, Training, and Information. Cooperatives educate and train their members so they will continue to grow and improve. They also inform legislators and the public about the benefits and nature of cooperatives. Cooperation Among Cooperatives. The cooperative movement is strengthened by collaboration between cooperative organizations. This can happen at the local, national, and international levels Concern for Community. Cooperatives work for sustainable development in their communities through policies agreed upon by their members.

Our crews are on call and will respond 24 hours a day to restore service as quickly as possible. Call PGEC at 804-834-2424 Remember: Stay Away From Downed Power Lines! During an Extended Outage Outage Preparation During an Outage During an Extended Outage Before You Lose Power Planned Outage Hurricane Resources Lightning Safety Additional Resources Turn off large electric appliances and equipment so that lines are not overloaded when power is restored. Keep the door to your refrigerator or freezer closed. If your door seals are tight, your food will normally be safe for several hours without power. Use caution and be sure to have adequate ventilation when operating generators, lanterns, heaters and fuel-fired cook stoves. If you use a generator, have it installed by a certified electrician. Improperly installed generators may feed energy back into the distribution lines, endangering our linemen and others. Always refuel appliances outside. Do not leave fireplaces and burning candles unattended at night. Restock your emergency supply kit.

< Back Co-op donates school supplies to local students for community back-to-school event Sep 3, 2024 Prince George Electric Cooperative recently donated nearly 50 bags of school supplies in support of Mars Hill A.M.E. Zion Church’s annual “Back to School Bash” event. Supplies included notebooks, pencils and crayons. Brittany Tann, the co-op’s senior communications specialist, expressed her sentiments about the co-op’s contribution. “One of the most satisfying aspects of working for a co-op is the opportunity for genuine community engagement,” Tann says. She expressed that this was her second year coordinating the co-op’s participation in the back-to-school event. “We understand that times may be tight for everyone, and we want you to know that we’re more than just an energy provider. Being able to help parents relieve some of the financial burden of preparing their children to return to school goes a long way.” In addition to its commitment to supporting community initiatives that serve local students, the co-op also helps local teachers purchase supplies and educational materials through its Round Up for Education program. Round Up for Education allows members to round up their monthly bill to the next whole dollar with the extra pennies set aside for use by teachers at the area school of their choice. As a member, you can support a local school of your choice today! Just provide the following information: Name on Account, Account Number(s), School for Donation and Phone number. Email the information to info@pgec.coop or mail to P.O. Box 620, Waverly, VA 23890.
