Surry-Yadkin Electric Membership Corporation was founded in 1940 by a group of local farmers. These visionaries were committed to providing electricity to rural farmers and families, and they were committed to the effort for a good reason. Four years after President Roosevelt signed the Rural Electrification Act, they had seen electricity lift many families out of poverty. It created demand for new jobs and products, and enabled farmers to make efficiency upgrades that resulted in crops being produced and sold more quickly.Seventy-five years ago we supported the community by providing electricity to anyone who wanted it. No matter the person, no matter the costs. Now, decades later, our focus is still to provide outstanding service that powers our rural communities by energizing, operating and maintaining the grid. But our commitment extends beyond providing electricity: Surry-Yadkin EMC, like all cooperatives, exists to meet and exceed the needs and expectations of our members. As a cooperative, we are owned and governed by our local members. We are proud to be a community partner and to lead in initiatives that make our communities even more vibrant places to live and work, whether that means feeding low-income families over the holidays, or providing aid to an organization that offers an essential service.We have met many of the communities' needs over the past seventy-five years by adapting to change. Technological and social trends will continue to change the way we conduct our business, but nothing will change our mission to serve or who we are. Who are we? The dream of a group of farmers; a vision of a brighter tomorrow.
