Season of gratitude

November 1, 2026

As the year draws to a close, the upcoming holiday season reminds us to pause and reflect on the successes, challenges and many blessings of the past year. Most importantly, it reminds us to be grateful for the people around us and to look for opportunities to help others.

At Palmetto Electric, we see this spirit throughout the year in the generosity of our members, the dedication of our employees, and in the communities we are privileged to serve.

One example is Operation Round Up, where participating members voluntarily round up their monthly electric bills to the next whole dollar, helping provide assistance to local nonprofit organizations and individuals in need. It may only be a few cents at a time, but together, those generous contributions make a meaningful difference for our neighbors.

Helping others also means serving our members in ways that make a difference in their everyday life. We know costs have gone up, and families are looking for ways to make their dollars stretch further. At Palmetto Electric, we remain committed to helping you use energy wisely, understand your energy use and find ways to save both energy and money. Whether it’s sharing practical energy-saving tips, answering questions about your account, or helping you understand how changes around your home can affect energy use, we want to be a resource you can count on.

Sometimes, the spirit of helping others even takes us beyond our own community. This fall, Palmetto Electric employees traveled to Jackson, Alabama to provide mutual aid following Hurricane Isaias, lending a hand to fellow cooperative members when they needed it most.

When I think about moments like these and all that we have accomplished together this year, I’m reminded of all we have to be grateful for. I am thankful for our employees who serve our members with dedication and care, and especially for you, our members. It is a privilege to serve you, and one we never take for granted.

From my family and everyone at Palmetto Electric Cooperative, I wish you and your loved ones a safe, joyful and bright holiday season.
