Horry Electric members have the opportunity to participate in an innovative program that provides funding for co-op members in need of food, shelter, clothing and healthcare.
By rounding up your bill to the next highest dollar, the extra cents collected from each member goes into the Operation Round Up fund. The average member will contribute about six dollars a year, which amounts to less than $0.02 per day. Money collected stays right here in your co-op community.
This program is administered by the Horry Electric Trust, a board of community leaders from Horry County who serve on a voluntary basis.
During the month of February, any member who signs up as a new participant in our Operation Round Up program will be automatically entered into a prize drawing for one of five $50 electric bill credits. Members have until 11:59 p.m. on Monday, February 28 to enroll. The winners will be announced in early March.
Members can enroll in Operation Round Up by logging into MyEnergy Online or by calling 843.369.2211. You also enroll by clicking here.
