We are a team dedicated to a clear mission and vision. We know our work makes a difference for our neighbors and community. Join a cooperative with more than 85 years of service to the Florida Panhandle.  

We know there are many ways to earn a paycheck, but some are more rewarding than others. Here are six reasons for you to consider joining the electric cooperative family.

1) A Paycheck with a Purpose. An electric co-op is a different kind of business. We're built and led by the members we serve, not some distant shareholder. While we provide the affordable, reliable energy critical to our community's health and prosperity, we do much more by creating new programs that meet the changing needs of our community.

2) We're Local. We serve our neighbors, family, and friends. Our members have a voice in how the co-op is run, and we make sustainable investments in the community we share. In addition, we support local businesses and organizations and create jobs and economic activity here at home.

3) We're Looking Ahead. Rapid advances in energy technologies and opportunities will change the way we use electricity. When you work at an electric cooperative, you are part of a team that creates innovative energy solutions for the people in our community.

4) We Put People First. We respect diversity and openness–it makes us stronger. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of professionalism and integrity while maintaining a close-knit, family-friendly working environment. Decisions are made locally by managers who know employees by name–not halfway across the country in an anonymous corporate headquarters where profit is the primary motivator.

5) We're Part of a Movement. When you work here, you're part of something bigger: Our diverse jobs require a variety of skill sets across all education levels. And while we're focused on our local community, you'll join and collaborate with a national network of nearly 900 cooperatives in 48 states.

6) We're Invested in You. We support your professional growth, development, and success with internal and external training opportunities. Co-op employees deliver a valuable service to our communities, and they're rewarded for that dedication with competitive pay, insurance and wellness plans, and outstanding retirement benefits.

CHELCO’s Human Resources & Training Department would like to share an important update regarding 1095-C tax forms.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) no longer requires employers to automatically mail Form 1095-C (proof of medical coverage) to all employees each year.

While CHELCO will not be mailing these forms by default, your 1095-C is still available upon request at any time.

What is Form 1095-C?

Form 1095-C provides information about the health coverage offered to you through CHELCO. Some employees and spouses may need this document for personal tax records or for reference purposes.

How to Request a Copy

If you would like to receive a copy of your 1095-C form, please contact Human Resources & Training:
