Piedmont Electric Membership (PEMC) is an electric utility cooperative which celebrates its 75 year in the year 2012. We were organized by a group of farmers who wanted electricity to their houses and farms. Through the Rural Electrification Act, the farmers were able to organize and form a cooperative, founded and known locally as REA. That cooperative (PEMC) now delivers electricity to 30,000 + members in Orange, Alamance, Caswell, Person, Durham, and Granville Counties and employs a total of 110 employees at three locations – Hillsborough, Caswell County and Roxboro – and operates under a Board of Directors comprised of 10 members.
