On Tuesday, May 7, 2024, Salem Electric held its 2024 Annual Membership Meeting at Roth’s Event Center in West Salem. Board President Jeff Anderson highlighted the cooperative’s efforts to keep rates low while maintaining an excellent safety record and keeping the lights on. Despite soaring consumer energy costs nationwide, Salem Electric has managed to limit rate increases to well below the rate of inflation. Anderson also spoke of Salem Electric’s support of energy efficiency and conservation, and the conservation efforts of the Glenn-Gibson Watershed Council in West Salem and the Claggett Creek Watershed Council in Keizer.
