Electric Cooperatives
Rural electric associatons known as co-ops are private, locally operated and owned organizations regulated by a member-elected board of directors. There are two types of co-ops:
-
Distribution cooperatives provide distribution electric service to Minnesota consumers. There are 45 distribution co-ops in Minnesota.
-
Generation and transmission cooperatives (G&T’s) generate and transmit electricity to distribution co-ops. The six generation and transmission cooperatives that serve Minnesota distribution co-ops are Basin Electric, Dairyland Power, East River Electric, Great River Energy, L&O Power and Minnkota Power.
Dakota Electric is the only cooperative utility regulated by the state. Minnesota Statute 216B.026 allows cooperative members to elect to become subject to regulation.
For further information, please visit the Minnesota Rural Electric Association online.
The Member Directory is also available online.
