Keep in mind, Carroll Electric only distributes electricity and does not own or have operational control over any power plants or power generating facilities.
Carroll Electric purchases its wholesale power from Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corporation (AECC).

AECC is also concerned about the Balance of Power.
