Power Talk

Berkeley Electric is hosting a health and safety fair on Saturday, April 13 in Awendaw. Power Talk sits down with one of our health fair partners Tamika Obeng, outreach coordinator for St. James, to discuss the organization's service to the community.

It's time for the 4th Annual South Carolina Lineman's Rodeo. Join our hosts as they sit down with Nick Adams from the Electric Cooperatives of SC and BEC's own Kevin Mizzell to learn more about this friendly competition designed to showcase both the skills and safety of cooperative lineworkers from across the state.

Pollen is in the air…and everywhere, which means spring is here in the Lowcountry! Adam Bradshaw, director of vegetation operations at Berkeley Electric, and Misty Wise, executive director of SC 811, sit down with Power Talk to discuss the cooperative's partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation and how to safely plant trees on your property.

Meet the other half of Berkeley Electric's new Engineering & Operations group, newly promoted vice president Chris Rutledge. Hosts Libby & Micah get the inside scoop on his vision for the department and how engineering works hard behind the scenes to serve our members.

Join us as we talk to our newly minted Vice President of Operations, Tommy Harvey. Tommy shares his vision for his new role and what fueled his rise from an entry-level groundsman to vice president.

Social Media Specialist Peyton Dress joins the show to highlight how the co-op's social media strategy entertains and educates our members. Plus listen in to learn how a little bird had a big impact across the internet!

The co-op's Dual Fuel Heat Pump program helps you have the best of both worlds when heating and cooling your home. Learn how you can earn rebates and tax incentives from Eddie Plowden, directory of energy services.

Santa will bring many of us new electronics this holiday season, so make sure you recycle your old devices, says Morgan Crapps, director of public affairs and government relations for Redwood Materials. The EV-battery manufacturer is teaming up with the co-op to clean out the Lowcountry's junk drawers.

Rob Fowler's partnership with Toys for Tots is almost as long as his tenure as chief meteorologist with Storm Team 2. And his passion for making Christmas morning for every child in the Lowcountry is just as strong!

Get into the holiday spirit with Brad Sale, director of Old Santee Canal Park! Celebrate the Season Holiday Lights Driving Tour opens on Nov. 24, and don't miss the Holiday Fairs that are returning to the park for three weekends in December.
