🌀 Storms can be scary for kids—but planning ahead is comforting for children. 🌩️ Tip: Reassure with routines. “Storms are normal—and we know what to do.” Grown-ups (and Beltrami Electric’s crews!) are trained and ready. Kids feel secure knowing someone’s in control. #CoopCares
Electric cooperatives are navigating rising costs, soaring demand, supply chain challenges, raw material shortages, increased labor costs and tariffs. See the percent cost increases since 2020. via @NRECANews
Just like a neighbor, Beltrami Electric is always there. We live and work in the same communities we serve. When you need us, we're just around the corner, and probably already helping out. 💡 🏘️ #GoodNeighborDay
We’re plugged into more than power. We’re plugged into people—scholarships, volunteering, neighborly good vibes: beltramielectric.com/about-your-coo… #CoopPrinciples ❤️
Beltrami Electric is pleased to welcome Shawn O’Brien as our newest apprentice lineworker! Shawn is a familiar face to many as he worked as a seasonal apprentice with BEC in 2024 before accepting a full-time position. Please help us in welcoming Shawn to the team!
What's your most unhinged electric efficiency hack? We're not talking about turning off the lights when you leave a room. We're talking, ‘My friends think I’ve gone too far but my electric bill thanks me’ kinds of tips. Share yours👇
Anika Harmsen reflects on her once-in-a-lifetime Youth Tour experience with Beltrami Electric—learning about co-ops, government and meeting peers from across the United States. A trip filled with growth, connection and gratitude. 💡 beltramielectric.com/member-newslet…
#DYK lines for utilities like electricity, water, gas, and fiber internet could be buried in your yard? If you’re planning to dig, call @GopherOneCall to have underground lines marked before starting your project. To learn more, visit 811beforeyoudig.com/for-homeowners/.
Electric co-ops are already using artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) tools for key tasks and activities. While many of these tools have the potential to improve services for our members, AI also presents a few challenges for the energy sector. via @NRECANews
Electric co-ops stand with the farmers and ranchers who power rural America. During #FarmSafety Week, we’re sharing tips on equipment safety, mental health, youth in ag and more. ⚠️ Always stay alert around power lines. Your safety matters. 🔗 necasag.org/nationalfarmsa…
By 2028, U.S. data centers could use 2 to 3 times more electricity than they did in 2023—mostly due to the growth of AI technology. Meeting this demand will require more power plants & grid upgrades to keep electricity reliable for our members: energy.gov/articles/doe-r… via @ENERGY
When a June derecho hit, fellow electric co-ops stepped in to help—an example of Cooperative Principle number 6: Cooperation Among Cooperatives. Huge thanks to our team, members, and community for your support and strength. #CooperationAmongCooperatives 🤝
IYKYK: LED lights are the MVP of energy savings. 💡 They last longer, shine brighter, and keep your electric bill lower. Time to make the switch!
Beltrami Electric's Matt Roberts and his wife, Jenna, brought extra fun to Bemidji’s July 4th Kiddie Parade with a mini bucket truck made from a Little Tikes Cozy Pickup. This crowd favorite was driven by their son, a little lineworker in training!
🌀 Storms can be scary for kids—but talking about them doesn’t have to be. ⚡ Tip: Keep it simple. “Thunder is just the sound lightning makes.” Comparing thunder to a drum in the sky can help kids understand what they’re hearing. #StormSafety #ParentTips #CoopCares
September is National Preparedness Month, encouraging Americans to be prepared for disasters or emergencies in their homes, businesses, and communities. Learn tips: epa.gov/natural-disast…. via @EPA
If your power is off: 💡 Check your home’s breaker box to rule out a tripped breaker. 🤝 Check with your neighbors. 🚫 Please do not use email or Facebook to report an outage. 📞 Call 218-444-2540 to report an outage. For more info, please visit: beltramielectric.com/report-power-o…
Now is the perfect time to schedule maintenance for your heating system. A qualified tech can clean filters, check for leaks and make sure your system is in tip-top shape to keep you cozy this winter. via @NRECANews
As time passes, the memories of that day and the lives lost are never forgotten. Take a moment today to pause and reflect on what you were doing that fateful morning. For our youngest member-owners, ask a family member what they remember about that day. #NeverForget
