At
their core, electric cooperatives are based on the idea of people and
groups
working together to solve problems. This was true when farmers and
other rural people banded together to bring electricity to the countryside
in the 1930s and it's true today. Every electric cooperative relies on
a vast network of
organizations to better serve their members — from AMEC, which gathers
Missouri's
co-ops on a statewide basis to NRECA, the national association, and many
other
groups, co-ops tackle problems by
working together.
Your local electric cooperative is our most important partner and your best source of information The co-op you own is your first stop for information about rates, programs, energy efficiency, safety and other topics affecting electricity and its use.
