Unplugged

Giving back - it's important to electric cooperatives and has been for decades. It's at the core of who we are and aligns us with the early years when poles and wires were first being constructed for underserved communities in rural areas. But what goes into strong community involvement? Former Director of Community Relations, Grey Scheer, joins the podcast to talk about how heart, passion, and a love for people can carry cooperatives a long way.

What is Unplugged?

Unplugged features topics and stories from one of America’s leading electric cooperatives, Blue Ridge Energy.

Electric cooperatives share a unique history that is etched into the framework of rural American life. Founded decades ago on a principle of bringing electricity to rural Americans left in the dark, electric cooperatives have become a beacon for economic growth and innovation in the less populated pockets of the United States.

On Unplugged, host Jacob Puckett, interviews guests on a wide range of topics and issues facing rural Americans that are served by electric cooperatives.
