What is an Electric Cooperative?

An Electric Cooperative (also known as a Co-Op) is a customer-owned electric utility that distributes electricity to its members. If your area is serviced by a Co-Op, that company is the exclusive provider for electricity in that area. To learn more information about how co-ops operate and/or to learn how you can bring deregulation to your area, please contact your electricity company (the company that generates your electricity bills) or your city government.
