MCCo is committed to serving its members by providing essential utility services while prioritizing reliability, competitive pricing, safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.

This centralized energy solution is referred to as a District Energy System. This model is not unique. In fact, it is used in most major cities, college and university campuses. The International District Energy Association has over 660 district energy systems operating in the United States.
The consolidation of energy provision to a single primary supplier offers numerous benefits. It results in cost savings through economies of scale, facilitates more efficient equipment maintenance, and eliminates the need for dedicated utility supply sources within individual buildings. Moreover, the District Energy system optimizes the utilization of fuels, power, resources, and labor within the community, resulting in both cost savings and a more environmentally sustainable operation.
