New Appointments to County Nominating Boards

We are pleased to announce the appointment of new members to the county nominating boards in Miami and Shelby counties, following recent changes to Pioneer’s Code of Regulations.

Ohio at Low Risk of Electricity Shortfalls This Summer, says NERC

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has released its 2025 Summer Reliability Assessment, offering a positive outlook for electricity supply in the coming months. According to the report, PJM Interconnection—the grid operator serving 13 states, including Ohio—is at a low risk of resources falling below required operating reserves, even on the hottest days of summer. Twice a year, in May and November, NERC evaluates the nation’s electricity grid to ensure consumers have reliable power, particularly during extreme weather conditions.

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!

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.

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.
