Rural electric systems, like Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative, were
initiated by local leaders in the 1930’s who saw electric power as a
right that should be extended to all citizens. Prior to 1945, the only
electric service found on our island was in Hatteras Village. The
sparsely populated, remote island was not considered a profitable
venture by investor-owned utilities. Consequently, the founders and
first members of Cape Hatteras Electric Cooperative literally took
matters into their own hands and formed their own power company.
Member owned . . . locally governed . . . service at cost . . . community oriented.
