SECO Energy officially broke ground on its future Northern Operations Center facility in Marion County, Florida, on September 29. As the electric cooperative nears its 90th year, this proposed facility represents a major milestone and demonstrates SECO's ongoing commitment to supporting the neighboring communities it serves.
Elected officials, community leaders, neighboring property owners, SECO Energy's Board of Trustees & Executives, and SECO employees gathered to celebrate plans for the new facility. Construction is underway and is expected to be completed in 2027. The Northern Operations Center reflects SECO’s commitment to investing in reliable infrastructure that supports Marion County’s diverse economy including its equestrian and agricultural communities, while remaining a responsible neighbor as the area continues to grow.
As SECO Energy’s service territory continues to grow, the cooperative is investing in modern facilities that better support employees, improve coordination and help crews deploy more efficiently when members and communities need them most. The Northern Operations Center is designed to strengthen day-to-day operations while supporting long-term reliability and service.
SECO Energy’s new Northern Operations Center will include modern support areas for equipment, materials and crew readiness, helping crews move more safely and efficiently. The new facility will also include a pole yard, staging space, and covered areas for bucket trucks.
