< Back Three PGEC apprentice linemen complete four-year apprentice training program May 22, 2025 Waverly, Va – Three Prince George Electric Cooperative apprentice linemen recently completed the four years of study and hands-on training required to receive their journeyman certification. On Friday, May 9, apprentice linemen Marshall Bryant, Austin Cherrix, and Scott Stewart graduated from the Virginia-Maryland-Delaware Association of Electric Cooperatives Lineworker Technician Apprentice program. The four-year apprentice training program consists of eight steps. Each step consists of a 32-hour workshop presented at the VMDAEC Training Center and are scheduled at six-month intervals. Josh Krenicky, the co-op’s vice president of engineering and operations, expressed his advocacy for continued education as a crucial foundation due to the inherent dangers of their work and the level of reliable service the co-op offers. “Linemen work in hazardous environments, so rigorous hands-on training is essential to ensuring their safety,” Krenicky says. “Linemen with this type of comprehensive training are better equipped to handle the demands of the job, ensuring that they can safely operate equipment, follow safety procedures, and respond effectively in emergencies. This helps in the overall quality of service we offer to our membership.” Austin Cherrix, has been employed as an apprentice lineman with PGEC for three years. He says that the program has been a great avenue to better himself and conquer new challenges to do what he loves. When asked what drives him each day, Austin replied: “It’s a great feeling knowing that we are doing something that helps our communities and our members.” Scott Stewart says that being an apprentice lineman is like being a part of a family. “The camaraderie amongst these guys is unmatched.” He says that the training is critical to keeping everyone safe. “Knowing that we are our brothers’ keepers, and someone always has your back is a great feeling.” As for Marshall Bryant, he’s thankful that the co-op offers this pathway to professional certification. “The fact that the co-op has this type of program to send employees to further their education in performing their job properly is something that speaks to our commitment to providing the service our members expect.” An integral part of the program’s curriculum is the successful completion of the “Job Competency” requirements that are included with each curriculum package. The student must demonstrate their “Job Competency” to their utilities designated person by performing the required job tasks learned. Once the designated utility person is satisfied that the student can perform each task competently, the student is then considered qualified to perform that task. ### Prince George Electric Cooperative Prince George Electric Cooperative, headquartered in Waverly, is a not-for-profit member-owned energy provider that serves more than 12,000 member-owners in six counties: Dinwiddie, Isle of Wight, Prince George, Southampton, Surry and Sussex.

< Back August: Energy Efficiency tip of the month Aug 19, 2025 Small changes can make a big impact when it comes to your energy bill. This month's small change involves your cooling system's filter. Replace your cooling system’s filter regularly to maintain strong airflow and boost energy efficiency. A clean filter means your system doesn't have to work as hard, saving energy and lowering your utility bills. Factors like allergies and pets in the home can impact how often filters should be replaced. Check the filter every month and replace it as needed. Changing filters regularly also reduces wear and tear on your cooling system, helping extend the life of the unit. Previous Next

< Back Prince George Electric Co-op celebrates 2024 Summer Intern program Sep 20, 2024 Prince George Electric Cooperative had the pleasure of hosting two local students during its summer internship initiative. The co-op recently celebrated their 2024 summer interns, Mandy Lancaster and Ashton Holt. Mandy joined the co-op family in May as an IT intern. She is a 2020 graduate of Tidewater Academy in Wakefield and is currently pursuing her BS in Cybercrime at Old Dominion University. She says that the most beneficial part of the experience was the multitude of equipment and different platforms she learned about and worked on. “The intensity of the network infrastructure side of the company was so cool to learn and gather new information about.” Ashton joined the co-op family in June as a utility intern. Ashton is a recent graduate of Thomas Dale High School in Chester and plans to attend Virginia Tech University’s Agricultural Technology Program this fall. For Ashton, the co-op’s work environment stuck out most for him. “Everyone was super nice and very understanding as I learned the ins and outs of the business. It was not what I expected but in a good way. Being able to talk to experienced work professionals gave me insight into a different world.” “I would like to sincerely thank both Ashton and Mandy for their hard work this summer being a part of our team,” said Sarat Yellepeddi, the co-op’s president and CEO. “Embracing the values of hard work and dedication and being able to see those values demonstrated in a real work environment is an invaluable experience that I am glad we were able to provide.” For more information about intern and other youth opportunities that the co-op provides, be sure to stay tuned to our publications and social media platforms.

< Back Energy Vampires: Don’t Be Spooked by High Energy Bills Oct 31, 2025 Don’t let high energy bills haunt your home this fall. Check out these tips to help you save energy (and money!) during the spooky season––and beyond. Common Energy Vampires: Televisions: Even when turned off, TVs often draw power for features like clocks, timers, or standby modes. Set-top boxes: Like TVs, these devices often stay powered on standby to allow for quick access. Computers and laptops: While not in use, they may still draw power for background tasks or maintain a connection. Game consoles: Similar to TVs, game consoles often have standby modes that consume energy. Printers: Even when not actively printing, printers can consume power in standby. Chargers: Phone chargers, laptop chargers, and other device chargers can draw power even when not actively charging a device. Microwaves: Microwaves with digital clocks or timers often draw power even when not actively heating food. Coffee machines: Similar to microwaves, coffee machines with digital clocks can be energy vampires. Reducing Energy Vampire Consumption: Unplug devices: The most effective way to eliminate energy vampire consumption is to unplug devices when not in use. Use power strips: Smart power strips can automatically cut off power to connected devices when they are not in use, reducing standby power. Turn off power strips: If you don't have a smart power strip, simply turning off the power strip can eliminate vampire energy. Be mindful of standby modes: When possible, choose devices that have a true off switch rather than relying solely on standby modes. Unplug chargers when not in use: Even when a device is fully charged, the charger can still draw power if left plugged in. Know when energy vampires are lurking: Keeping track of energy vampires can you reduce their impact on your bill. Download the SmartHub app (GooglePlay or iOS) and set energy thresholds to notify you when you use more than a certain amount of energy in a day. This is a powerful solution to help you take control of your energy usage before you receive an unexpectedly high bill. Previous Next

< Back Tired of Paying Lump Sum Bills Monthly? Prepay For Electricity in Smaller Amounts No deposit. No late fees. More flexibility. May 28, 2025 Paying a lump sum electric bill each month can seem daunting for some members. At PGEC, we realize that each member is unique – even down to how they may want to pay for their electricity. With PrePay, members decide how much electricity they’re going to use and prepay that amount as often as they want– just like a pay-as-you-go cell phone or putting gas in your car. Members who enroll in this service have the advantage of prepaying for their power in smaller amounts when and how they choose. This allows members to make payments on their own schedule — like when they get paid — so they can better manage their expenses. How does PrePay work? Members with PrePay do not receive a monthly bill but can easily monitor usage and payment information daily via the SmartHub mobile app. Members pay for their electric service in advance, and each day, the available balance is deducted based on your use. Your PrePay balance is calculated daily by subtracting your energy charges and adding any payments received. Members can make daily, weekly, or bi-weekly payments rather than one monthly payment via all of PGEC’s payment methods except Auto Pay and bank draft. Benefits of PrePay: No deposit: PrePay requires no security deposit upfront. No fees: There are no late payment fees and no reconnection fees. More flexibility: Members have greater flexibility in planning monthly expenses. Interested in PrePay? Call 804-834-2424 for more information or to check your eligibility. Previous Next
