About Cullman Electric Cooperative
Cullman Electric Cooperative, a tax-exempt not-for-profit organization based in Cullman, Alabama, operates as a sub-recipient on federal disaster relief and broadband infrastructure grants, with a single prime grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service. The cooperative is a DOT-certified disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) but does not hold federal contracts; its entire federal footprint consists of grants received as either primary recipient or sub-recipient.
The cooperative's grant portfolio is heavily concentrated in disaster relief. Federal Emergency Management Agency financial assistance awards account for 13 of its 15 total awards and represent the dominant share of activity. As a sub-recipient under the Alabama Emergency Management Agency, Cullman Electric Cooperative has received FEMA funding for disaster response and recovery, including support designated as "project #52" in a July 2022 sub-award. The cooperative also holds a single prime grant from USDA's Rural Utilities Service (RUS), titled "Broadband Reconnect Congressionally Directed Spending — Grants," awarded September 10, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of September 10, 2026. In parallel, the cooperative received a July 2024 sub-grant from the State of Alabama Department of Finance to deliver fiber-optic infrastructure expansion — 96 route miles of fiber construction intended to serve 1,979 previously unserved households, businesses, and community institutions across Cullman and Winston Counties in Alabama.
The cooperative's award activity peaked sharply in 2021 with twelve awards, dropped to one in 2022, and resumed at two awards in 2024. Combined dollars obligated across all fifteen awards total $11.1 million. Only one award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The cooperative's customer footprint includes three distinct federal agencies: the Federal Emergency Management Agency (13 awards), the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service (1 award), and the Department of the Treasury (1 award), with FEMA constituting 87% of award count.
