Operation Round Up Recipients

The Paulding Putnam Electric Operation Round Up Fund is a voluntary charitable program.  Participating members’ monthly electric bills are rounded up to the next dollar, with the additional pennies deposited in the fund.  A Board of Trustees, composed of cooperative members and separate from the PPEC Board of Trustees, oversees the application and allocation process.

Individuals or organizations can obtain an application by contacting PPEC at 1-800-686-2357 or visiting
