We Belong to You!

The Electric Cooperatives of Mississippi serves as the unified voice of all electric cooperatives in Mississippi. While we do not generate or distribute power, we represent the people who do, the 25 electric power associations and one generation-and-transmission electric power association. We function as a united service organization for the mutual benefit of all electric power associations and th

eir members. The association’s staff is composed of skilled professionals who provide a wide range of specialized services to member-systems at a state level. The services are designed to assist local systems in serving their own members more effectively and economically. Among the areas of the association’s expertise are: a government relations program that monitors legislative action on the state and national levels; member relations; programs that emphasize youth involvement and leadership; safety and loss control programs; employee training programs; communications and public relations, including the publishing of Today in Mississippi (the largest circulated publication in the state) which has a circulation of 472,300; employee credit union; coordination of insurance programs; and much more. Our most important function is representing the more than 784,300 members who receive their electric service from an electric power association. In a cooperative manner, we are committed to ensuring that each member is provided quality electric service at the least possible cost. It is with this commitment that we join forces with each association in doing collectively what cannot be accomplished individually. For more information contact Ron Stewart at 1-601-605-8600.

⚡ As storms roll in this summer, stay weather-aware and lightning-safe:

• Check weather forecasts before outdoor activities.
• "When thunder roars, go indoors!" Seek proper shelter until the storm is over.
• Stay away from water, open fields, and tall objects.
• Unplug electronics and avoid devices that are plugged in.
• Wait 30 minutes after the last thunder before going outside.

Summer's intense storms and hurricanes frequently knock out power, making generators essential backup systems for many households. The combination of summer heat, potential flooding, and urgent power needs creates unique safety challenges that every generator owner should understand before severe weather strikes.

For whole-house generators:
• Always hire a licensed electrician who will install a transfer switch to prevent dangerous backfeed
• Schedule monthly tests following manufacturer guidelines to ensure reliability when you need it most
• Know your system's limits and create a priority plan for which appliances to power during outages
• Remember that DIY installation puts both your family and utility workers at serious risk

For portable generators:
• Always operate outdoors with at least 20 feet of clearance from any doors, windows, or vents
• Store fuel properly in designated containers away from living areas and never refuel while the unit is running or hot
• Perform regular testing per manufacturer recommendations
• Replace frayed cords, and ensure all connections are clean, tight, and protected from moisture to prevent electrical hazards

The June issue of Today in Mississippi should be hitting mailboxes in the next few days. 🚗🍔 We love the crispy and fresh chicken tenders at The Pineville Store. Maybe the Wildcat Fries, dripping with mozzarella cheese and ranch sauce, is more your speed? How about a Flying Pig sandwich (there’s plenty of ham and bacon – oink oink) at Crazy K’s? For this month’s issue, we came up with a list of gas stations that (we think) serve the tastiest food in the state. Check out our June 2025 cover story and then tells us what we might have missed.

💬👇 Go to the comments section below to tell us where your favorite fried chicken, BBQ, or hamburgers are served. Just be careful with the gas station sushi.
