On this day of gratitude, we’re thankful for our amazing members! Together, we can power a brighter tomorrow. Wishing everyone a warm, joyful and #HappyThanksgiving! ?? ?

No matter what storms come our way, your crews are ready to respond. ??

November is coming to an end soon and we can't say goodbye without recognizing these 13 WRVEC employees. With over 120 years of experience, these team members are crucial to serving YOU- our members. Join us in congratulating them on their career milestones!

Did you know WRVEC is the second largest Cooperative in the state of Missouri? Serving over 48,400 member meters, our system spans over 5,319 miles of line. That takes educated and trained staff to serve YOU - our members! We are currently operating on a 400 to 1 member-employee ratio. That’s right! For every 400 members, there is one employee to assist. This may seem daunting, but your WRVEC team is up to the task. We work hard and efficiently to make sure we meet members’ needs while keeping the operating budget low!

Heads up! All WRVEC offices will be closed Thursday November 28 and Friday November 29 in observance of the holiday. As always, 24/7 outage reporting will be available via Smarthub. As you celebrate and give thanks, know that at WRVEC we are thankful each and every day for YOU - our members!
