Upper Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation

Upper Cumberland Electric Membership Corporation (UCEMC) is the electric cooperative that serves rural Putnam County and surrounding Upper Cumberland communities - the parts of the region that lie outside Cookeville's city limits and aren't served by the city's municipal electric system. As a cooperative, UCEMC is technically owned by its member-customers, which is a different relationship than a typical utility company. Their 2.3-star rating across 87 reviews reflects the inherent challenge of being a utility - when the power goes out or bills are disputed, people write reviews. They serve the region from their West Broad Street headquarters in Cookeville, providing the infrastructure that makes rural Upper Cumberland life possible. For rural homeowners in Putnam County, UCEMC is your electric provider - understanding how to contact them for outages and billing questions is essential.
