Delivering reliable electric power to more than 55,000 membe-rowners across a 14-county service area is no small task, but providing that service safely, and through some of the harshest weather extremes imaginable, requires employees to approach their daily responsibilities with an intense focus on safety. Since the cooperative was formed through a consolidation in 2000, United employees bought into a culture that put safety at the forefront of the co-op’s daily operations. By approaching their duties safely, the employees of United Cooperative Services clearly demonstrate the advantage of being a member-owner of this electric cooperative. Our members get to see the results of our employees’ efforts every day through the safe, reliable service we provide.
