South Plains Electric Cooperative was “born” on the night of March 8, 1937, at a meeting held at the Lubbock Junior High auditorium.
South Plains Electric Cooperative, and all cooperatives, abide by The Seven Cooperative Principles: Voluntary and Open Membership, Democratic Member Control, Members’ Economic Participation, Autonomy and Independence, Education, Training and Information, Cooperation Among Cooperatives and Concern for Community.
One of the principles we abide by is Concern for Community. We demonstrate this in a variety of ways including giving away scholarships to local seniors, awarding mini-grants to teachers that teach at local schools, sending youth on the Government-in-Action Youth Tour, teaching safety to fourth graders at our fourth grade safety demonstrations, participating in countless walks for numerous charities, running a United Way employee campaign, sponsoring little leagues and much more.
One thing unique about cooperatives is that we do not have customers—we have members. One major member benefit comes in the form of capital credits and the Cooperative has returned over 50 million in cash to our members.
