Cooperative Energy (CE) is an electrical generation and transmission cooperative in Hattiesburg, Mississippi providing power to more than 427,000 homes and businesses.[1][2][3]
In 2015, the cooperative decided not to purchase a 15 percent interest in Mississippi Power's coal gasification power plant in Kemper County, Mississippi known as the Kemper Project.[4]
On November 9, 2016, the South Mississippi Electric Power Association (SMEPA) changed its name to Cooperative Energy.[5]
In 2017 the cooperative opened a solar farm (photovoltaic power station) near Sumrall, Mississippi.[6]
