Reliability has a view. Aerial trimming lets us clear trees around power lines with speed and precision — keeping the lights on across our 19-county footprint. #TheEnergyUnitedWay
Strong communities start with strong connections. This week, EnergyUnited leaders were in Washington, D.C., meeting with members of Congress to advocate for policies that help us continue delivering safe, reliable, affordable and sustainable energy to our members. We’re proud to be your voice to deliver a brighter energy future for our communities. ⚡️ #TheEnergyUnitedWay #CoopsOnTheHill
This week, EnergyUnited hosted 30 local high school students to offer a hands-on look at careers in the energy industry. From climbing poles to riding in 50 and 100-foot bucket trucks, students got a real feel for what it takes to be a lineworker. A special thank you to Caldwell Community College for their partnership and to Gatherings for providing lunch for all attendees. #TheEnergyUnitedWay
In the first quarter of 2026, the EnergyUnited Foundation awarded more than $200,000 to support local families and nonprofits — helping meet critical needs by assisting with shelter, utility bills, emergencies and other humane needs. Learn more: https://zurl.co/uc1DG
A big thank you to the first grade class at Cornerstone Christian Academy for recognizing our linemen at EnergyUnited as we celebrated Lineman Appreciation Day! Your thoughtful cards truly brightened their day. A special thanks as well to our lineman Anthony’s wife, Tara, and Cornerstone’s Headmaster, Mrs. Renee Griffin, for helping make this connection possible. We’re so grateful for your support! #ThankALineman

No roads. No shortcuts. Just boots on the ground and eyes on the line. This week, we honor the people who go wherever the job takes them to keep your power flowing. #ThankALineman
Three Generations. One Mission. Today is NC Lineman Appreciation Day, and this photo says it all. Experienced veterans passing down decades of knowledge. Younger crew members building the skills that will carry this work forward. And in the middle — the steady hand that connects both. At EnergyUnited, our linemen aren't just maintaining infrastructure. They're building something that lasts: a culture of safety, service, and craftsmanship across the 19 counties we serve. That investment in people is what makes the cooperative model work. To every lineman who keeps our communities powered — thank you.
From the first cup of coffee to the last plate served, we’re proud to power the places that bring our community together—like Tarheel Q in Lexington. Because strong communities start with strong local businesses. ⚡🍽️ #TheEnergyUnitedWay
Big things happen when communities come together ⚡ At EnergyUnited, we're proud to power more than homes — we're powering progress. From protecting the environment to investing in our communities and staying true to the cooperative principles that guide us, there's a lot to be proud of this year. Take a closer look at how your cooperative is making a difference — and what it means for you. https://zurl.co/EnergyUnitedCRSR #TheEnergyUnitedWay
Electrical safety isn’t just something to think about at home—it matters everywhere. If you are in an accident involving a downed power line, be like Mary: be patient, remain calm and DO NOT exit the vehicle.
