Each year, Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative offers four $750 scholarships to area high schools. These high schools are rotated every year throughout the service area. The applications are sent to third-party judges to be reviewed and graded to ensure any bias is eliminated and the most qualified candidates are the recipients. This year, scholarships were awarded to one graduating senior at Alton, Bakersfield, Eminence and Willow Springs.

Protect your online accounts by enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) wherever possible. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second step, such as a code sent to your phone or an authentication app, beyond just your password. Even if a scammer steals your login information through phishing or data breaches, MFA can stop them from accessing your account.

As temperatures rise, so does demand for electricity. During summer months, energy use typically peaks in late afternoon and early evening when air conditioners are working hardest... a friendly reminder that our peak summer hours are from 2 pm to 7 pm. Curb your usage and help us Beat the Peak.
