ENERGYUNITED CONDUCTS ELECTRICAL SAFETY DEMONSTRATION FOR ALEXANDER COUNTY SCHOOLS VIRTUAL ACADEMY

STATESVILLE, N.C. – EnergyUnited recently conducted a special Electrical Safety Demonstration for Alexander County Schools Virtual Academy.

“Safety is always the top priority for EnergyUnited,” said Maureen Moore, communications manager for EnergyUnited. “We are very glad that we were able to offer this special virtual presentation to educate students in Alexander County about the importance of electrical safety.”

The demonstration at Alexander County Schools Virtual Academy is one of several safety presentations scheduled by the electric cooperative this fall.
