Surry-Yadkin Electric Membership Corporation is a utilities cooperative based in Dobson, North Carolina. It was founded in 1940 to extend electricity to rural areas of Northwest North Carolina, beginning with a Rural Electrification Administration loan used to build 200 miles of distribution lines and the Mt. Airy Substation to serve 750 members across Surry, Yadkin, Stokes, and Forsyth counties, with Wilkes later added. Today the cooperative serves about 27,000 accounts and maintains roughly 4,000 miles of distribution line, with a mission to provide safe, affordable, reliable energy to its member-owners. In 2026, leadership changes include the appointment of Bryon Kennedy as assistant general manager and the planned retirement of longtime executive Greg Puckett by year-end. The organization has pursued collaborations beyond core service, such as a 2025 partnership with the Town of Elkin and a 2023 Cleantech Innovation Award recognizing a carbon emissions reduction project developed with Hollar & Greene Produce.
