The Value of Your Midwest Electric Membership

Proud to provide great value to our members since 1936

Midwest Electric is committed to providing members with reliable electricity at historically stable and affordable rates. Our members can power their lives for an average cost of just $7 per day!

Being a member of Midwest Electric means so much more than paying your electric bill each month. As a member, you are also an owner of the co-op and have the power to help influence the future of Midwest Electric. Because we work for you, we take your feedback seriously while striving to maintain your trust and best interests.

Here are a few more valuable ways we serve our members:

Midwest Electric is dedicated to providing our members with reliable electricity at stable, competitive rates. We provide members with several savings opportunities, including rebates and energy audits, and a peak load management program to help keep rates low. Each year, Midwest Electric returns excess revenue to its members in the form of patronage cash back. Since the co-op was founded, it has returned more than $44 million to members!

Our members deserve to have access to electricity when they flip the switch. That's why Midwest Electric invests about $3 million every year in upgrades to our electric system and uses the most effective power restoration technology, resulting in a 99.9% rate of power availability for members.

Our linemen work around the clock to provide you with reliable power. When a power outage occurs, members are kept up to date with real-time outage notifications and can monitor power restoration efforts on our outage map.

Midwest Electric breaks down its bills in a way that is easy to read and understand, without including unnecessary information. We also offer a clear break down of bills online to help members further understand what's on their monthly bills. Plus, because we know that each of our members has unique needs and preferences, Midwest Electric offers numerous easy ways for them to pay their bills.

Midwest Electric’s Community Connection Fund donated $50,000 to local charities last year, thanks to 90% of members who rounded up their electric bills. Safety is our priority. We provided over 3,500 individuals with electric safety demonstrations last year. Midwest also prioritizes investing in its youngest members by providing numerous scholarship opportunities to local high school seniors each year.
