Looking Back on Our Successes
Every few years, I meet with our board of directors and leadership team to set a clear path forward for Clark County REMC. Our last strategic planning session was in 2022, shortly after I joined the cooperative. Now, it’s time to look ahead again — and in the coming months, I’ll share our updated goals for the next 3 to 5 years.
Before we do that, I want to highlight the progress we’ve made since 2022:
- System upgrades: We committed to modernizing our technology, including new meters and outage tools. That plan is well underway. More than a thousand new meters have already been installed, with 6,000 more to go this year and full deployment by 2027.
- Facility needs: We’ve maximized the use of every square foot of our current facility. It’s clear we will need more space in the future, and we’re carefully evaluating our options.
- Community engagement: From annual community service days to safety demos and student programs, we’ve strengthened our presence and impact in the communities we serve.
- Safety first: Safety remains our top priority. We’ve fostered a culture where hard conversations happen, smart decisions are made, and continuous improvement is the norm.
- Member-focused energy solutions: We’ve created an EV rate, boosted our solar buyback rate, hosted educational seminars, and hired a dedicated staff member to support members exploring new energy technologies.
- Broadband: After a feasibility study, we learned that a full-scale fiber buildout isn’t financially viable at this time. However, we remain open to partnerships if the right opportunity arises.
I look forward to sharing our new strategic goals soon, and as always, your feedback is welcome.
