Nishnabotna Valley REC Observes National Co-op Month in October
Nishnabotna Valley REC join 30,000 cooperatives nationwide each October to celebrate National Co-op Month, which recognizes the many ways cooperatives are committed to strengthening the local communities they serve. Your cooperative delivers electricity to over 2,500 member-owners in our six-county service area of southwest Iowa. Delivering safe, reliable, affordable power is our top priority, but we are also invested in our communities because we are locally owned and operated. Revenue generated by Nishnabotna Valley REC goes back to Main Street, not Wall Street.
Rural America is served by a network of about 1,000 electric cooperatives, most of which were formed in the 1930s and 40s to bring electricity to farms and rural communities that large, investor-owned power companies had no interest in serving because of the higher costs involved in serving low-population and low-density areas.
In addition to providing the vital power co-op members depend on, NVREC employees coach youth sports programs, participate in Relay for Life, support local parks and rec programs, and so much more.
Follow #CoopMonth on Facebook and Twitter to see how co-ops across the country are celebrating National Co-op Month.
