Broadband and EV Warren RECC has partnered with TVA on high-speed internet access and an EV fast-charge network in Kentucky, signaling a strategic push into digital infrastructure and mobility services. This creates sales opportunities for turnkey broadband buildouts, EV charging software and network management, and related grant support for ACP eligibility and other funding programs.

Resilience Funding The co-op secured $2.4M in FEMA funding for storm and tornado recovery, indicating a focus on resilience and disaster recovery. Potential solutions include disaster recovery planning, DRaaS and data backup, grant and program management tools, and integration with existing energy and telecom operations to support rapid restoration.

Lean IT Modernization With a lean team of 2-10 employees and a multi-tool tech stack, there is a clear need for lightweight IT outsourcing, cybersecurity, system integration, and scalable cloud services to simplify vendor management and strengthen security.

Channel Growth Partnerships Ongoing partnerships with TVA, Energy Right, ACP, and local media partners show appetite for collaboration across rural utilities. This presents a channel-growth opportunity to expand wholesale broadband and telecom offerings to additional cooperatives, run joint marketing campaigns, and pursue partner-funded expansion initiatives.

Digital Engagement Commerce Use of Shopify and SEO and analytics tools signals online presence for member services and commerce. Opportunities exist to enhance online enrollment in ACP, event registration, and member communications through marketing automation, CRM consolidation, and enhanced analytics.
