America's Electric Cooperatives: Energy is Us

We electrified rural America 75 years ago. Now we will electrify vehicles and homes and water heaters and provide a path toward a cleaner, more sustainable future. Energy is us.

Farmers and ranchers formed America's electric cooperatives more than 75 years ago to secure electricity in order to better their lives. Today co-ops bring that same spirit of purpose and cooperation to the changing needs of a new generation of cooperative owners.
