Community Service Laurens Electric Cooperative has been a community-minded utility since it began in 1939. The cooperative itself is involved in many local groups and organizations, not to mention the time and money donated to area charities individually by our employees. Some of the organizations with which Laurens Electric is involved are: Chambers of Commerce of Greenville, Spartanburg, Mauldin, Laurens, Simpsonville, and Fountain Inn   LEC works together with local chambers of commerce to improve economic development in the surrounding communities by assisting businesses large and small, existing or new. LEC also helps facilitate fundraising events, such as festivals and golf tournaments that serve to raise money for the chambers of commerce, which in turn is used to boost economic development. Also, several members of the LEC staff serve on various committees within those chambers and assist with legislative affairs, membership drives, small business affairs, and marketing efforts.
