Surry-Yadkin EMC

Surry-Yadkin EMC was founded in 1940, a few short years after the implementation of the Rural Electrification Act in 1936.  The co-op was established by the community to provide a service to rural areas that had not previously been been offered: electricity.  With the help of the R.E.A (Rural Electric Administration) and invested citizens, the cooperative soon began to expand.  Surry-Yadkin Electric Membership Corporation currently serves over 20,000 members in Surry, Yadkin, Wilkes, Stokes, and Forsyth counties.  SYEMC maintains 4,023 miles of line throughout its service territory in order to provide safe, affordable, reliable electricity to its member-owners.
