As an avid golfer, one of my favorite events is the Ryder Cup, the biennial men’s golf competition slated for Sept. 23-28, 2025, in Farmingdale, New York. Unique in many ways, the Ryder Cup foregoes individual play to unite America’s finest professional golfers against their European counterparts.
The same fierce competitors who play against each other on most weekends join forces to represent their country in a powerful display of unity. Unlike golfers, cooperatives stand united every single day. Just like Ryder Cup golf, the results are magnificent.
When disaster strikes, we unite. Whether it’s a severe storm, flooding or ice — we’re ready to assist not only our members but also all surrounding co-ops in the Volunteer State and beyond.
When a challenge arises, we unite. Whatever the challenge, we advocate with local, state and national lawmakers for policies that benefit rural communities and the betterment of our members.
When a new possibility comes forward, we unite. Whether that be new opportunities to better our young people or new advancements for our community, we work to maintain and improve brighter futures for all our cooperatives.

This type of unity allows Tennessee’s electric cooperatives to energize every moment, and we hope you will power us in doing so.
