About the company
Mountain Electric Cooperative Inc., a tax-exempt non-profit cooperative based in Mountain City, Tennessee, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal disaster-relief and emergency-management grants. The cooperative has no prime contracts or contract vehicles; all 26 awards in its recent footprint are sub-awards routed through state emergency-management agencies (100% sub-recipient posture, zero prime work).
The cooperative's federal footprint is concentrated in two grantors passing funds through state prime recipients. The North Carolina Department of Public Safety and the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency together account for 100% of recent awards and obligate $24.9 million in combined potential value. The North Carolina awards span electrical infrastructure hardening and substation resilience projects—Newland Substation, Beech Mountain Substation, Linville Substation, Sugar Mountain Substation, Banner Elk Feeders & Circuits, Old Toe River Road, Banner Elk Substations, and WTB Electrical Infrastructure—flowing through North Carolina DPS as the prime grantee. The Tennessee grants, flowing through Tennessee Emergency Management Agency, fund pandemic emergency protective measures including emergency medical care, medical sheltering, vaccine administration, and community health information dissemination; the cooperative's role in those awards is not itemized by specific substation or infrastructure project, but rather grouped under the broader emergency-protection umbrella.
Activity has grown significantly. The cooperative received three awards in 2023 (all routed through Tennessee Emergency Management Agency), then zero awards in 2024, then thirteen awards in 2025 (split between the two state grantors), then ten awards in 2026 through mid-May. The recent uptick reflects disaster-recovery and pandemic-response funding flowing through state channels to local utilities and non-profit service providers. All work is sub-recipient level; Mountain Electric Cooperative has not competed for or won any prime federal contracts, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs. The cooperative's capability role is confined to on-the-ground electrical infrastructure resilience, emergency medical logistics, and community engagement support—work performed within its operating region in North Carolina and Tennessee and funded through federal grants administered by state emergency-management offices.
