Message from the CEO

Thank you for considering the SLEMCO service area as your business’s future home. Whether you’re expanding or starting fresh, we’re proud to welcome you to a region that’s as unique as it is vibrant. If you’re already operating here, you know that SLEMCO stands apart from other municipal power providers — just as South Louisiana stands apart as a place to live, work, and thrive. Here, with the SLEMCO team by your side, your business has The Power To Do More.

From international corporations to homegrown enterprises, businesses are choosing to settle here for a good reason. Our region offers a cost-effective lifestyle, a highly skilled workforce with a deep-rooted work ethic, and a culture where pride in a job well done is second nature. Add our community’s lively spirit and rich traditions, and it’s clear why this area attracts both businesses and people who want to make the most out of life.

At SLEMCO, we’re committed to powering that way of life. Our electricity rates are up to 30% lower than the national average — not because we want to impress anyone, but because it’s who we are. Our goal has always been to deliver reliable service at the lowest possible cost. National recognition for our customer service is an honor, but we don’t strive for awards — we strive to serve. As a co-op, we answer only to our members, and that means putting businesses and communities first every single day. If a car strikes a power pole or a hurricane rips through our community, we respond faster and restore quicker, simply because that’s what we’re supposed to do.

All of us at SLEMCO believe in giving businesses The Power To Do More: more growth, more opportunities, and more success. We’re excited about the opportunity to partner with you, and we’re confident that choosing South Louisiana and SLEMCO will be one of the best decisions you ever make. You’re going to love it here.
