Member Advisory Committee (MAC) meetings & news

Member Advisory Committee (MAC) meetings.

At the March MAC meetings, held over two evenings, members attended a presentation led by Wake Electric’s CEO and General Manager, Jim Mangum. The presentation provided an update on the cooperative’s continued residential growth and focused on the importance of maintaining both affordability and reliability for members. Mangum discussed factors influencing electricity costs and emphasized Wake Electric’s commitment to delivering dependable service while managing costs responsibly. The presentation included discussion of the high winter bills caused by unprecedentedly low temperatures from this year’s winter storms. Mangum also highlighted programs designed to help members better manage their energy use, including the Time of Use rate, which rewards members for shifting electricity usage to off-peak hours. The meetings offered members the opportunity to ask the management team questions directly on a range of topics, fostering open dialogue. Each evening included a catered dinner, along with several drawings for $50 bill credits and additional prizes.
