How do electric cooperatives support their members?

Electric cooperatives support their members by providing affordable and reliable electricity to their communities. Co-ops are member-owned, not-for-profit organizations that prioritize the needs of their members rather than shareholders. Members have a voice in the decision-making of the co-op, electing a board of directors to help guide the co-op’s operations.

Electric cooperatives support their members by improving the energy experience

Because Great River Energy doesn’t have to answer to shareholders, we’re able to allocate resources to ensure we can deliver on our triple bottom line commitment of providing affordable rates, reliable energy service and environmental stewardship to our members. We are focused on several key issues including carbon dioxide reduction, and energy efficiency and conservation. This work is an investment into the communities’ long-term energy sustainability.
