As the leaves begin to change and we settle into the routines of fall, it’s a good time to take stock of a few things around the house — preparing for cooler weather, checking our heating systems and getting ready for the months ahead. It’s also a good time to refresh our cybersecurity habits.
Local Decisions, Lasting Impact
When I meet someone new, I’m often asked what I do for work. That usually leads to a conversation about URE and what makes an electric cooperative different from other utilities.
In July, URE proudly supported local 4-H and FFA youth at the Union County Fair, held July 26 to August 1. From livestock shows to project displays, the week was a showcase of hard work, dedication, and community spirit.
As we settle into the heat of July, our homes naturally use more electricity. Air conditioners run longer, refrigerators work harder and daily routines — from cooking dinner to doing laundry — often overlap during the warmest parts of the day. That’s also when the demand for electricity across our community is at its highest.
