ELECTRICAL SAFETY

When it comes to electricity inside and outside of your home, safety should always be your number one priority. At Codington-Clark Electric Cooperative (CCEC), we are committed to working safely and effectively to protect members and employees. 

We strive to bring you the power of safety through education and community outreach, with safety tools, resources, and programs such as Safety Town and Co-ops in the Classroom for students.

CCEC is proud to be an active participant in the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association’s (NRECA) Rural Electric Safety Achievement Program (RESAP), a comprehensive system-wide approach to improving safety.
