Glades Electric Cooperative Education
Glades Electric is a member-owned cooperative — not an investor-owned utility. Members have rights.
Problem Overview
As a rural electric cooperative, Glades Electric is owned by its members. That means residents can attend meetings, vote for the board of trustees, request transparency on rates and reliability, and push for infrastructure improvements such as tree trimming and storm hardening.
Why It Matters
Understanding your status as a member-owner — not just a customer — is the first step to better service and accountability.
What Residents Can Do
- Verify your membership and voting eligibility
- Attend the annual meeting
- Run for or support qualified board candidates
