Service to our co-op members begins with a modern system of transmission and distribution facilities, with the capacity and reliability to power residential, commercial, and industrial users. DEMCO powers 117,500+ meters in seven parishes: Ascension, East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Livingston, St. Helena, Tangipahoa, and West Feliciana.
The system includes ten metering points for wholesale power and 35 substations, 10 metering points, 3 switching stations and 2 mobile stations for system reliability. The primary voltage is 69 kV with 230 kV metering points and substation facilities available. The distribution system primary voltages are 14.4/24.9 kV and 7.62/13.2 kV. DEMCO also owns two mobile substations of 20 MVA and 10 MVA capacity. The electrical system is continually monitored by a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system (SCADA) to detect system failures and remotely control breakers and switches.
Best-in-class technology ensures that power is distributed safely, reliably, and efficiently.
A strategically located member service center is located in each parish we serve, to provide an enhanced member experience and efficient response times.
The board of directors, management, and every employee are committed to making DEMCO a reliable and efficient utility. Our system and employees are ready to meet your needs.
