In this episode of Co-op Conversations with DEMCO, host David Latona sits down with Chief Financial Officer Peggy Maranan to discuss how DEMCO manages costs, pursues competitive grant funding, and invests in the long-term reliability of the electric system.
Learn how a recently awarded $3.3 million vegetation management project—supported by more than $2.2 million in federal and state funding—will help strengthen the electric system while reducing costs that would otherwise be shared by DEMCO’s member-owners.
Peggy also explains how DEMCO’s not-for-profit cooperative business model guides financial decisions, why vegetation management is one of the most important investments in system reliability, and how securing outside funding helps preserve resources for additional reliability improvements across the communities we serve.
