Members first. Every day. That’s the power of membership. Not for-profit electric cooperatives deliver energy to members at the cost of service, this differs from investor-owned utilities that distribute profits to investors not necessarily to those it serves.
ACCOUNTABILITY
ACCOUNTABILITY
Electric co-ops belong to the members they serve. Decisions made benefit those in your community because co-op business is conducted through a locally elected board of directors who propose policies to be voted on by members.

A “touchstone” was a tool used by miners to test the quality and authenticity of gold or silver. Today our brand, Touchstone Energy, serves as the national “gold standard” for co-ops, demonstrating excellence in service, community engagement and innovation.
No. Touchstone Energy is a national network of electric cooperatives that provides resources and leverages partnerships to help its member cooperatives and their employees better engage and serve their members.
Touchstone Energy is not a government or regulatory agency or entity. It has no jurisdiction or authority over its members. Touchstone Energy exists for the benefit of its members.
Cooperatives are owned by the members they serve and operate as not-for-profit organizations. Unlike conventional investor-owned corporations, cooperatives prioritize benefit for the consumer. Cooperatives operate on a democratic basis and every member has a voice in their cooperative’s governance.
Cooperatives answer to their members, not to shareholders.

Learn more about some of the programs Touchstone Energy co-ops offer here.
Whether or not you can choose your energy provider depends on your state laws. Customer choice has been introduced in some states, but not nationwide.
The Touchstone Energy Cooperative network covers 56 percent of the country’s land mass and is the nation’s largest electric utility network. For a coverage map and complete listing of all Touchstone Energy co-ops by state, visit our Co-op Finder.

Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles (EVs) are a “hot item” in the auto world, with many auto manufacturers offering at least one model. Improved versions are on the near horizon, too, for good reason. Electric vehicles provide environmental advantages and, even though they may carry a higher price tag initially, tax credits and lower operating costs often balance out the initial investment.

Battery Storage
Battery storage systems are growing in popularity as the technology improves, prices decline and cooperatives and their members recognize the benefits of energy independence, resiliency, renewable energy integration and financial savings. System installations are increasing in residential homes and businesses and at utility scale.
Smart Home
Smart home technologies continue to grow in popularity, and for good reason. They offer users more control, freedom and security over their homes and can improve comfort, energy use, the environment and safety. But they offer benefits for electric co-ops as well, who can tap into these devices and appliances to optimize the grid and improve its reliability, efficiency and health while supporting their members.
Advanced Metering
Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) — an integrated system of smart meters, communications networks and data management — is key to modernizing power generation and distribution to improve the reliability, affordability and safety of electricity delivery. At its core, AMI provides enhanced data collection and analysis that unlocks many new opportunities. Electric co-ops have been installing smart meters throughout the country to replace older electric meter technology, and they are now the most common type of meter in the U.S.
