April 2020 Newsletter
Dear members,

These are challenging times. Every day brings more change, impacting every facet of our lives. Now more than ever, information sharing is vital to our health, success, and even sanity. As your cooperative power provider – owned by you – we want you to be informed about utility initiatives that impact you. From April onwards, we will send you this monthly update, highlighting LPEA’s latest news, resources, and services.

We know you likely don’t think about your electricity until it’s time to pay the bill, or until the power goes off – and that’s okay. Just know we are here to serve you and welcome your engagement, questions, and suggestions.

Hillary Knox, VP of Communications
