Take Control of Your Energy Use Before Winter Temperatures Arrive

Cooler weather is approaching, and sooner or later, Ohio’s bitter winter weather will be here. As temperatures drop, we often head to the thermostat and turn up the heat. Then we see the heating bill. Yikes! Sound familiar? It doesn’t have to be that way. When it comes to heating and cooling your home, how you manage your thermostat can make a difference. Adjusting the temperature when you’re asleep or away from home can help reduce energy use, and a programmable or smart thermostat can make those adjustments easier. Unlike a traditional thermostat, a programmable or smart thermostat allows you...

Navigating a Changing Electric Industry

CEO Column | October Ohio Cooperative Living If you follow the news surrounding the electric industry today, there is a lot to take in. Data centers, transmission projects, power plant retirements, rising costs, and concerns about whether there will be enough electricity to meet future demand are all competing for attention. While these may seem like separate issues, they are actually closely connected. Electricity has to be generated, transported across high voltage transmission lines, and ultimately delivered through Pioneer’s local distribution system before it reaches your home or business.

Hear From Our Members

Everything we do revolves around you – our community. Pioneer brings the focus to our local communities and our neighbors. That is the cooperative difference.

Our power went out at 4:40am May 3rd. I called and reported. The crew was here within a half hour. Fixed a part on our transformer and electricity was restored quickly! We appreciated the two gentleman that asked permission first… to drive through our yard. It was a damp/ rainy morning. Our electric came on… they were pulling out … total time from our call in… about 90 minutes! Great Job! Thank you for your service and professionalism!

Monti & Penny

I personally have never had issues with Pioneer and have used them for 6 years. I’m actually thankful for them after hearing the horror stories about AES and how long it takes power to be restored and their prices. Anytime our electric goes out, it is restored quickly. I think the longest we’ve been without power is maybe 3 hours. The pricing has gone up a little over the years but nothing significant to complain about.

Nicole Giles

John

Pioneer Electric Cooperative is great. So thankful that we rarely lose power, but when we do it’s fixed quickly

Jason

Love Pioneer Electric! They are the BEST!!

Jackie

I would like to show our appreciation for keeping our power on, on a day when 'everyone else' didn't have power. Thank you!

Steven

I have always had faith in Pioneer over the past 40 years, but we just keep getting better.

Jeff

I am very happy with the service. Outages are almost non-existent. If there is an outage, it usually only lasts a matter of minutes. That is very important during inclement weather.
