AVECC OFFICES WILL BE CLOSED FOR THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY ON NOVEMBER 26-27. WE WILL REOPEN MONDAY NOVEMBER 30.
Are you participating in Round Up for Change?
At our core, we genuinely believe that each and every one of our members should be able to live comfortably in their homes. Unfortunately, for some members, paying electric bills can often be a struggle while balancing other utility bills as well. That’s why we created the Round Up for Change program, where members help members.
Members are able to round up their electric bills to the nearest dollar. That change is then rounded up at the end of the year and given to members in need.

AVECC Control Center Coordinator John Yates Named The Employee Of The Year For 2020
Each year, AVECC employees nominate a coworker who they believe has highly represented AVECC, excelled in their position, and positively impacted the company.
The employee chosen award was an honor for John. "I feel extremely honored and blessed to receive this award. It means a lot to me. It's great to work for a company that truly appreciates its employees, and we have some of the best people working here at Arkansas Valley Electric," he stated.

“Since I began working for AVECC 12 years ago, I’ve worked in various roles including member services and as an energy efficiency inspector. I am now serving as the Health Safety and Facility Coordinator. I am in charge of facility maintenance at all four AVECC locations in Ozark, Van Buren, Waldron and Pocola. My duties commonly consist of anything inside or outside the facility, helping with DOT and safety training. On a day-to-day basis, I enjoy the challenges of my job. No day is ever the same.”
