We are proud to welcome you to Pearl River Valley Electric Power Association. As you sign up for electric service with us, you are becoming a member of one of the fastest-growing, locally-owned and operated electric cooperatives in the state.

Our Association operates as a not-for-profit, member-owned cooperative business. This makes us unique from other electric utilities. Our goal is to provide each member with safe, dependable electrical service at the lowest possible price. We take pride in serving our members and strive to make your dealings with us pleasant and convenient.

Our cooperative’s history dates back to 1938 when 228 rural Columbia-area residents expressed interest in receiving electric service. Today, Pearl River Valley Electric serves more than 49,000 members, including homes and churches, small businesses, shopping malls, schools, and industrial plants. Our electric distribution system, made up of 25 substations and approximately 6,000 miles of line, now extends over twelve counties.

We are here to serve you. This is the cooperative way of doing business and it is our commitment to you.
