The nation's member-owned, not-for-profit electric co-ops constitute a unique sector of the electric utility industry - and face a unique set of challenges.

Distribution cooperatives form the foundation of the rural electric network delivering electricity to more than 20 million American homes, businesses, farms and schools in 48 states.

Generation and transmission cooperatives (G&Ts) provide wholesale power to distribution co-ops through their own generation or by purchasing power on behalf of distribution members.

Whether it's a co-op serving a remote fishing village above the Arctic Circle or a co-op serving a horse farm in central Kentucky, electric co-ops share a common goal providing safe, reliable and affordable electric service to their members.
