October is National Co-op Month, a time to reflect on the critical role electric cooperatives play, especially in times of crisis. When Hurricane Helene hit, it knocked out power for 1.25 million South Carolinians, including 425,000 electric co-op members. The storm damaged 5,000+ power poles, toppled transmission lines, and left 80+ substations offline. For many, Helene was the most devastating storm in decades. But our 19 member-owned co-ops responded immediately, showcasing the cooperative principle of "Cooperation among Cooperatives." Every S.C. cooperative deployed line crews, with 12 co-ops sending mutual aid: Berkeley Electric, Black River Electric, Coastal Electric, Edisto Electric, Fairfield Electric, Horry Electric, Lynches River Electric, MPD Electric, Palmetto Electric, Santee Electric, Tri-County Electric, and York Electric. Santee Cooper and Duke Energy Corporation also played critical roles in re-energizing co-op substations. Help arrived from 23 states, with crews as far as California, Maine, and Texas joining the effort. Our materials supplier, CEEUS, Inc., delivered 20-30 truckloads of equipment daily—rivaling the response to Hurricane Hugo in 1989. This massive recovery effort underscores the power of co-ops working together to serve their members. During #NationalCoopMonth, we celebrate the dedication and resilience of Central’s 19 co-ops. Together, we rebuild, restore, and stand strong through every storm—and we’ll remain ready and prepared to do it again, whenever our communities need us most.

Berkeley Electric Cooperative is pleased to announce that Yajaira Bess, public relations specialist, has earned recognition as a professional communicator in a national certification program offered by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA). Yajaira has met the requirements to become a Certified Cooperative Communicator (CCC), which signifies standards of professionalism in communications and competency in the electric cooperative industry. The CCC Program was created to strengthen and enrich the electric co-op communicators' professional skills and abilities to help them successfully fill their crucial roles in ensuring the best possible future for electric cooperatives. This is done through establishing professional development goals, identifying a body of knowledge and skills necessary to practice electric co-op communication, and recognizing those individuals who have demonstrated a professional level of excellence. Congratulations, Yajaira, on your hard work and dedication to Berkeley Electric! #CCC #Communicator #Certification #Congratulations
