Welcome to WREC

Dear Valued Member,

Welcome to Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative! We’re honored to have you as part of our community. By joining WREC, you’ve become a Member-owner of one of the largest not-for-profit electric Cooperatives in the nation, an organization built on service, integrity, and a deep commitment to the people and communities we serve.

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to exceed our Members’ expectations by providing safe, resilient electric service at the best possible value while enriching and strengthening the communities we serve. Every decision we make is guided by this mission, and every Member plays a vital role in helping us fulfill it.

We’ve created this handbook to support you as you get started with WREC. Inside, you’ll find information about our services, programs, rates, and how to make the most of your membership. Whether you have questions about your account, want to learn more about energy efficiency, or are interested in participating in community initiatives like Operation Round-Up, we’re here to help.

As a Cooperative, we operate differently than traditional utilities. Our model ensures that your needs come first. Our Board of Trustees are elected by Members like you, who provide leadership to our dedicated employees to deliver exceptional service while keeping costs as low as possible. Being a Member-owner means you benefit from our success, with your annual Capital Credit refund returned in December.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us anytime you need assistance or have questions. We’re proud to serve you and look forward to building a lasting relationship based on trust, transparency, and community. WREC also maintains an active social media presence, where we regularly highlight the meaningful work, we do in the communities we serve every day. Be sure to follow along and stay connected!

Thank you for being a valued Member of Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative.

Sincerely,

David B. Lambert II

Executive Vice-President & General Manager
