7 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 12 As a utility company, Central Alabama Electric Cooperative (CAEC) could have just one goal—to provide reliable electricity to our members. But, we’re more than that. We’re an organization deeply connected to the communities we serve because we were created by those very communities 85 years ago. In the mid-1930s, only about 10 percent of rural America had electricity, including homes here in the River Region. Bound with the idea that they deserved more, local neighbors came together to build an electric co-op that was powered by the people. Since then, CAEC has grown and been shaped by the unique needs and desires of the people and communities we serve here in central Alabama. We partner with local agencies and civic groups to make life better in our community, through economic development and educational initiatives. With this spirit of community, in 2018 we once again took up the mantle to better the life of area residents by forming a broadband subsidiary, Central Access, bringing high-speed Internet to those no one has been willing to serve. Whether it’s serving people in our communities by delivering power or high-speed Internet, we’re proud of our heritage and continue to embody the co-op spirit.
