Did you know that many homes in the States don’t have electricity? On this episode of United’s PowerTalk, linemen Blake Bourg, Mark Samuel and Tyler Anderson join John Davis to share their recent experiences with Light Up Navajo, which brings electricity to homes on the Navajo Nation. Over the course of a week, they built miles of power lines, shared a homeowner’s joy as she turned on the lights for the very first time, and returned to Texas with even more gratitude for their own blessings.

United Cooperative Services is helping members save their money by offering free energy audits. In this episode of United PowerTalk, Energy Solutions Manager Seth Rosser and Energy Solutions Specialist Eric Compton discuss what their team looks for during the audit and how simple changes can lead to big savings. The conversation also takes listeners inside an energy audit at Bluff Dale school, to teach homeowners and business owners alike how they can apply the same energy efficiency measures to their spaces.

In this episode of United’s PowerTalk, CEO Cameron Smallwood breaks down what’s really driving electricity costs and how United works to keep rates as stable and affordable as possible for its members. Cameron explains the factors shaping today’s energy landscape, including:

• Power supply and transmission expenses.
• Winter Storm Uri recovery costs.
• The growing impact of data centers in Texas.

He also shares how the cooperative is planning for future growth while working to ensure members aren’t burdened with costs they shouldn’t have to bear.
