Iowa’s electric cooperatives encourage members to participate in the statewide Shine the Light contest in June to celebrate and recognize local volunteers.

In April, we pause to honor our lineworkers—the ones who answer the call when the lights go out and whose dedication powers our lives every day, especially when it matters most.

The second Cooperative Principle is Democratic Member Control. Your vote. Your voice. Your power. That's the cooperative way.

Your electric cooperative helps to power the moments you love and the connections that matter. Reliable energy isn’t just power; it’s what connects us.
