Touchstone Energy

Touchstone Energy® is a national alliance of local, consumer-owned electric cooperatives providing high standards of service to customers large and small. More than 695 Touchstone Energy cooperatives in 46 states are delivering electric power and energy solutions to more than 30 million customers every day. Touchstone Energy cooperatives are local, active members of their communities dedicated to serving commercial, industrial, agricultural and residential customers with integrity, accountability, innovation and commitment to community.

Warren Langford, Cotton Electric's CEO, was recently elected to the Touchstone Energy® board of directors and will serve on the board for a three-year term.  Langford brings over 35 years of industry experience to this board of directors, which consists of 14 cooperative professionals from across the nation.

When asked why he ran for the board, Langford shared that price and power quality are no longer local issues.  “Recent events have made it imperative that rural electric cooperatives stay active and have a united voice concerning legislation and issues that affect how we do business. Touchstone Energy® is an avenue by which rural America has a united voice concerning the problems and solutions that impact our daily lives.”

Langford believes that through coordinated advertising, marketing and communication activities, Touchstone Energy® has brought a level of positive recognition that rural electric cooperatives have never seen. And, he recognizes the need for the continuance of these programs in the future. Cotton Electric has always strived to provide our members with quality service at competitive rates," said Langford. "Our affiliation with Touchstone Energy shows our dedication to providing consumers reliable, high-quality service at competitive prices."
