At SECO Energy, we are thrilled to announce our "SECO Energy Expansion and Improvement Plan," a transformative five-year initiative that will shape the future of our co-op and its membership.
As one of Florida's largest electric cooperatives, we have experienced remarkable growth, now serving over 240,000 members across seven counties. To meet the evolving needs of our expanding community, we are embarking on an ambitious project to construct an expanded headquarters in Sumter County and new operations centers and warehouses in Lake, Marion, and Sumter Counties. This expansion is a testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering the world-class, reliable service our members have come to expect.
Many of our current buildings, some dating back to the 1930s and 1940s, have served us well beyond their expected lifespan. As we look to the future, we recognize the importance of investing in state-of-the-art workplaces that will enhance our operational efficiency, ensure the safety of our dedicated workforce, and elevate the quality of service we provide to you, our valued members.
The SECO Energy Expansion and Improvement Plan is set to break ground in January 2026, and has received unanimous approval from our Board of Trustees. As fellow SECO Energy customers, our trustees understand firsthand the importance of this initiative to our community.
Our CEO, Curtis Wynn, captures the essence of this project:
"This initiative will ensure that our aging buildings will be replaced with safe, secure staging areas and workplaces for our employees – the ones who drive such high member satisfaction."
As a not-for-profit electric cooperative, our primary focus has always been, and will continue to be, providing reliable, safe, and affordable electricity to our members. This expansion plan reinforces that commitment, ensuring that we can continue to meet your needs efficiently and effectively for years to come. SECO members have received $80 million in excess profits since our inception, and we're excited about the enhanced level of service this expansion will allow us to provide. With an expected completion of 2028, we're looking forward to entering a new era of member service and growth.
Thank you for your continued trust and support as we embark on this exciting journey together.
