SMECO is a cooperative that provides electricity service for southern Maryland. SMECO was formed on Feb. 5, 1937 as the Southern Maryland Tri-County Cooperative Association, facilitated by President Franklin Roosevelt's Rural Electrification Administration (REA). Southern Maryland at the time was not lucrative enough a market to draw private capital to create a commercial electric utility. In the end, this was a blessing for customer-owners. SMECO rates are far lower than those paid by fellow Marylanders in area serviced by for-profit corporations.

SMECO headquarters is based in [[Hughesville, Maryland]].

-SMECO is a cooperative that provides electricity service for southern Maryland.  SMECO was formed on Feb. 5, 1937 as the Southern Maryland Tri-County Cooperative Association, facilitated by President Franklin Roosevelt's Rural Electrification Administration (REA).  Southern Maryland at the time was not a lucrative enough market to draw private capital to create a commercial electric utility.  In the end, this was a blessing for customer-owners.  SMECO rates are far lower than those paid by fellow Marylanders in areas serviced by for-profit corporations.
+SMECO is a customer-owned electric cooperative providing electricity to over 144,000 services in southern Prince George’s County, Charles County, St. Mary’s County, and all but the northeast portion of Calvert County.  Co-ops are distinctly different from investor-owned utilities because co-ops are owned by their customers, and these members vote for men and women who sit on the Board of Directors.
 SMECO headquarters is based in [[Hughesville, Maryland]].
