Berkeley Electric Cooperative, Inc. was formed in the 1930s by rural residents who took matters into their own hands to bring electricity to the countryside. The private company is based in Awendaw, SC. The company offers a Beneficial Suggestions Program to recognize members for beneficial ideas, as well as a rebate program called H2O Advantage® to help members purchase and install energy-efficient electric water heaters. The company also offers automatic standby generator systems to avoid power outages during severe weather. Berkeley Electric Cooperative is the largest electric cooperative serving members in Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties in South Carolina. Michael S. Fuller has been the CEO of the company since 2020.
