SECO Energy is proud to announce it has reached a major milestone, recently welcoming its 500^th employee—the largest workforce in the cooperative’s nearly 90-year history. This growth reflects SECO’s ongoing commitment to its employees, members and the communities it serves. SECO Energy’s vision is to lead the industry in member satisfaction and engagement and be the preferred employer in our region.

Founded in 1938, SECO Energy began as a small, rural cooperative that focused on bringing electricity to rural Central Florida. In November 1938, SECO turned the lights on to 400 rural farmsteads in Sumter County. Today, the cooperative serves over 260,000 homes and businesses, making it the seventh-largest electric cooperative in the nation. From its inception, SECO has been an economic driver and steadfast supporter of its local communities.

Over the last 15 years, SECO has added 100 employees to its overall headcount, and continues to grow ahead of its Workplace Expansion and Improvement Plan that will break ground in early 2026.

“Our 500 employees are dedicated to keeping our promise to members,” said Curtis Wynn, CEO. “Each team member plays a vital role in ensuring that every home and business receives safe, reliable, and affordable energy. This milestone reflects SECO’s continued investment in people and resources that directly benefit our members. As we expand our workforce, we enhance our ability to provide exceptional service, embrace innovation, and uphold the cooperative difference that sets SECO apart.”
