Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative (MVEC), incorporated in 1937, is a proud provider of local energy. In a day and age of ever-changing technology, MVEC can assure its members that they will continue to bring power where no one else would at a level of service no one else can deliver.
The cooperative works diligently to provide reliable, quality power at a reasonable price. And, because it is a not-for-profit organization, MVEC sells electricity to its member-owners at cost.

When you’re a cooperative member, you’re not just a number on a bill, you’re a member of a community. And by working with Great River Energy, you will be part of a nationwide alliance made of more than 600 local, consumer-owned electric cooperatives in 46 states.
