关于我们
The Minnesota Rural Electric Association (MREA) is a service organization and statewide voice for Minnesota's electric utility cooperatives. MREA's 15 employees provide their expertise in service and leadership including: public awareness communications, safety training, legislative research and lobbying, and industry education programs. A member board representing electric co-ops across the state governs MREA. MREA's members, forty-four electric distribution cooperatives and six generation and transmission (G&T) co-ops in Minnesota, serve 780,000 customer meters or about 1.8 million Minnesotans, covering 85 percent of the geographic area of the state. These cooperatives are locally-owned and operated by boards of directors, who are elected by the consumer-members they serve and operate according to the seven cooperative principles. The cooperatives seek to provide electric energy to rural consumers at the lowest possible cost consistent with sound management. They also promote and fund economic development initiatives to create jobs and maintain a high standard of living for rural and suburban Minnesota residents.

Thank you to our incredible Minnesota crews who hit the road at 7 AM this morning to support hurricane restoration efforts in Florida. As Hurricane Milton approaches, they are heading south to assist Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative, Inc. along the Gulf Coast, just north of Tampa. This deployment follows on the heels of 80 Minnesota cooperative lineworkers helping restore power in South Carolina after Hurricane Helene. A special shoutout to Luke Waxon, Kyle Ryman, Clay Fleck, Tim Vanderlinde, Wyatt Gadient, and Bryce Anibas from Dakota Electric Association, along with crews from Kandiyohi Power Cooperative, for volunteering for this mission, which is expected to last about two weeks. Safe travels to everyone involved! #MutualAid #CoopsCare #StrongerTogether

Regardless of your politics, it’s exciting to see a President of the United States visiting an electric cooperative to announce billions of dollars in much-needed investments for co-ops, including hundreds of millions right here in the Upper Midwest. #Cooperatives #POTUS

Take a look at these aerial images. First: a massive 82k sq. ft. pile of hazardous waste from a 99 MW wind farm, only generating when the wind blew. Second: 25k sq. ft. of all the spent fuel ever produced by the Prairie Island Nuclear Plant, which has been generating 1,076 MW of continuous power since 1973. We’re working to repeal Minnesota’s outdated nuclear moratorium because it’s the right choice for reliability, affordability, and our environment. #NuclearEnergy
