About the company
Tombigbee Electric Cooperative, Inc., a tax-exempt non-profit electric utility cooperative headquartered in Hamilton, Alabama, serves as a prime recipient of federal infrastructure and rural electrification grants rather than a federal contractor. The cooperative operates as a recipient under Department of Energy and Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service grant programs, with 67% of its recent federal award footprint anchored in prime grant roles and 33% as a sub-recipient of state and federal grants.
Tombigbee's federal customer base spans five agencies. The Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service leads with two awards; the Department of Energy, the Department of the Treasury Departmental Offices, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Appalachian Regional Commission each contribute one award. The cooperative's primary federal work centers on grid modernization and rural broadband infrastructure. Under a Department of Energy Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) project grant awarded January 2025 with completion targeted for December 2029, Tombigbee is implementing the Tombigbee Grid Modernization Project, which adds self-healing grid equipment, demand-response technology, and a new fiber network to enable remote switching and crew safety improvements while reducing emissions and long-term energy burdens for member households. In a sub-recipient capacity, Tombigbee received a 2024 sub-grant from the State of Alabama Department of Finance to deliver 155 route miles of fiber construction providing high-speed internet to 1,584 previously unserved households, businesses, and community institutions in Winston County. A 2023 sub-grant from the Alabama Emergency Management Agency rounded out recent sub-recipient activity.
Activity is episodic rather than steady: six total awards across the source window span from 2018 through 2025, with no consistent annual pattern. Combined dollars obligated total $42.5 million, concentrated in infrastructure and broadband capital projects rather than operational services. The cooperative does not hold any federal contracts or parent contract vehicles; its federal footprint is purely grant-based.
