SECO Energy proudly announces the successful completion of its annual member-wide customer satisfaction survey, underscoring its commitment to excellence in service delivery. The not-for-profit cooperative, which provides electric service to over 248,000 homes and businesses across seven Central Florida counties, received invaluable feedback from more than 1,200 members, reinforcing SECO Energy’s position as a leader in customer satisfaction within the utility sector.

The member responses were evaluated by the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI®), a well-respected organization that measures customer satisfaction across diverse industries in the United States and publishes the results of its syndicated studies nationally. SECO Energy conducts its member satisfaction survey in a separate study. For 2024, SECO Energy achieved an impressive ACSI score of 91 on a 100-point scale [1], reflecting the unwavering dedication of its employees to deliver exceptional service.

SECO Energy Chief Executive Officer Curtis Wynn expressed immense pride in the cooperative’s achievement, stating, “Our members are more than just customers—they’re our neighbors, our friends, and our community. This recent ACSI score of 91 is a testament to the passion and commitment our team puts into providing reliable, innovative energy services. It’s a reflection of the care and enthusiasm our employees bring to every interaction, always striving to exceed expectations. Surpassing the scores earned by investor-owned utilities and municipalities reported in the 2024 ACSI Energy Utilities Study is more than just an achievement – it shows how deeply we value our members and the impact we strive to make in their lives every day.”

SECO Energy’s score is higher when compared to publicly measured investor-owned utility scores and municipal utility scores reported in the syndicated 2024 ACSI Energy Utility Study and places SECO Energy 17 points higher than the average investor-owned utility score of 74, as well as 16 points higher than the average municipal utility score of 75, per the industry ratings.

The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI®) is the only national cross‐industry measure of customer satisfaction in the United States. Each year, the ACSI uses data from interviews with roughly 200,000 customers as inputs to an econometric model for analyzing customer satisfaction with approximately 400 companies in about 40 industries and 10 economic sectors. ACSI data have proven to be strongly related to several essential indicators of micro and macroeconomic performance.
