Nationwide, electric co-ops serve 1 in 8 U.S. residents in rural and exurban communities. Compared to other electric utilities, co-ops often serve areas with lower population density, lower median income and higher costs to deliver electricity per capita.
While each electric co-op is unique and adapts to their local members’ needs, together, our network plays a vital role in transforming the communities we are proud to serve. Across the U.S., 830 distribution co-ops deliver power to their communities.
Take control of your summer energy use! A smart thermostat automatically adjusts heating and cooling temperature settings in your home for optimal performance and can help you save a great deal of energy (and money!) annually. #SaveEnergy
Electric cooperatives are locally operated, making them capable of adapting to their local communities’ energy needs. We’re proud to be part of the network that serves 22 million homes, businesses, schools and farms across the U.S.

Extension cords should only be used as temporary solutions. Do not substitute extension cords for permanent wiring. If you need additional outlets and wiring options, contact a licensed electrician.
Play it safe when using extension cords! Never use a cord that feels hot or is damaged in any way. Touching even a single exposed strand can give you an electric shock or burn.
