In the early 1930’s rural people wanted electricity just like people living in the cities. Tri-County Electric Membership Corporation is a member-driven cooperative committed to providing reliable electric power at a reasonable cost, to offering superior service, and to taking an active role in supporting the communities it serves. Our primary purpose is to provide safe, efficient electric energy to our members of Wayne, Duplin, Lenoir, Johnston, Jones, Sampson and Wilson counties. We are one of 26 electric cooperatives in North Carolina and over 1,000 cooperatives nationwide.
