New Corporate Office

Blue Ridge Energy finalized the construction of a new corporate office in 2020, replacing the original facility which was built half a century ago. The corporate office is the hub for member and customer operations for all three Blue Ridge companies and the services we provide.

Cooperative management and Board made the decision to build after estimates for renovating the current building came in close to the cost for a new building. Other considerations included the disruption in service and a very important feature — a weather hardened dispatch/operations center: the hub for coordinating safe, reliable electricity flow.

The $18 million project is located in front of the current corporate office at 1216 Blowing Rock Blvd. The new building will not affect rates, as costs have been carefully planned and spread out over the next 30 years, requiring no debt for the new facility.
