the Cooperative Way
Our Mission
The Mission of Cooperative Energy Company is to provide excellent products and services in a safe environment that will enhance the profitability of both the patron and the company.
Why Co-op?
Co-ops exist to benefit the people who use the coop’s services, rather than to generate profits for outside investors. According to the Iowa Institute for Cooperatives, the average farmers who belong to a supply co-op earn $5,000 more per year.
Average farmers
Over 31 counties in Iowa listed one or more co-ops in their top 10 property taxpayers. A large percentage of every dollar you spend with Cooperative Energy is reinvested in you and your community.
That is the Cooperative Way.
