It is the mission of Hamilton County Electric Cooperative Association to provide safe, reliable, quality electric service to our Members at an affordable price. It is our goal to control costs, to assure that rates can remain low into the future. Additionally, we strive to provide service and leadership that will have a positive influence on the lives of the Members that we serve.
