Central Florida Electric Cooperative Planning for the Cooperative's Future 2026
This document outlines Central Florida Electric Cooperative's evaluation of a potential sale of its Fiber by Central Florida business to Conexon. The strategic objective is to strengthen the cooperative's financial position and ensure its long-term ability to deliver reliable electricity to rural communities, amidst rising infrastructure costs and storm recovery challenges. The plan involves transitioning the successful fiber network, built to address rural broadband needs, to a specialized provider to enhance financial stability through debt elimination and grant retention. Members will ultimately vote on the proposal at the 2026 Annual Meeting.
