Great River Energy: A strong foundation for communities

7 Jan 2025

As not-for-profit organizations, energy cooperatives provide a strong foundation for communities. Cooperatives work toward the sustainable development of their communities through decision-making processes and operations that are influenced by their members.

We’re building a strong foundation for communities

Great River Energy is focused on serving our communities by powering them with affordable, reliable and cleaner electricity. We truly believe that when communities work together, we all do better. We’re focused on providing support through community giving, supporting local businesses, taking care of our employees, and positioning ourselves to meet the ever-changing needs of our members. We’re also committed to providing educational opportunities, and training so that our members can contribute effectively to the development of our member-owner distribution cooperatives.

We’re part of a network that is focused on creating a strong foundation for the communities we serve. Learn more about what our cooperative does to improve the communities we live in.
