Lumbee River EMC

Lumbee River Electric Membership Corporation (LREMC) is a not-for-profit electric cooperative owned by the members it serves in eastern North Carolina. Its member-owners have a voice in how the cooperative operates, and its mission is to provide safe, reliable, and affordable electricity rather than generate profits. LREMC serves communities in Cumberland, Hoke, Robeson, Moore, and Scotland counties, delivering power to more than 66,475 accounts through a network of over 78,000 poles and more than 5,300 miles of infrastructure.

The cooperative offers practical services for members, including online account management, bill payment options, outage reporting, payment assistance, and information about rates and capital credits. Its energy programs include residential rebates, energy-efficiency loans, electric vehicle loans, renewable energy resources, and guidance on customer-owned generation. LREMC also supports local communities through scholarships, educational grants, youth programs, safety demonstrations, and sponsorship opportunities. Grounded in innovation, community commitment, accountability, and integrity, the cooperative works to earn members’ trust while helping them manage energy use and access essential electric services.
