KEC’s mission to provide our members with exceptional service and dependable electric power at competitive rates drives every business decision the cooperative makes. This focus on our members is reflected in our American Customer Satisfaction Index score. Year over year, our members rate our performance and service to them well above that of our regional and national peers. It is performance we are proud of and strive to improve on each year. One of the things we learned from this survey is that members are interested in engaging more with us virtually. To meet those needs, in addition to our live Chat option, we have implemented these other new ways to communicate with us:
