About us
The Minnesota Rural Electric Association (MREA) is a service organization and statewide voice for Minnesota's electric utility cooperatives. MREA's 15 employees provide their expertise in service and leadership including: public awareness communications, safety training, legislative research and lobbying, and industry education programs. A member board representing electric co-ops across the state governs MREA. MREA's members, forty-four electric distribution cooperatives and six generation and transmission (G&T) co-ops in Minnesota, serve 780,000 customer meters or about 1.8 million Minnesotans, covering 85 percent of the geographic area of the state. These cooperatives are locally-owned and operated by boards of directors, who are elected by the consumer-members they serve and operate according to the seven cooperative principles. The cooperatives seek to provide electric energy to rural consumers at the lowest possible cost consistent with sound management. They also promote and fund economic development initiatives to create jobs and maintain a high standard of living for rural and suburban Minnesota residents.

Minnesota and Iowa cooperative lineworkers are in Guatemala this month, helping electrify and supply aid to a remote village in the southeast part of the country. Thank you to these outstanding lineworkers for their dedication to electrifying communities at home and abroad! #BrighterFuture #CooperativeDifference

Thanks for coming Scott! A great conference! The cooperative family is strong 💪
Thanks you to Minnesota Rural Electric Association for inviting me to your summer member services and comms conference in gorgeous Walker, MN. The Olympics theme was fun (hoping there were no injuries after I left lol) and I loved the “Member Services to CEO” panel. I’m glad so many folks from across the state took time to hear about some of the ways Touchstone Energy® Cooperative, Inc. can help them make their jobs just a bit easier.

A huge shoutout to Border States for their incredibly generous donation, supporting our Minnesota cooperative linemen as they work to bring electricity to villages in Guatemala. We often take electricity for granted but in these villages, it will transform lives. Together, we're making a difference! 💡 Learn more about our efforts and contribute here: https://bit.ly/3Uxulsh #PoweringCommunities #TransformingLives

Electric co-ops are governed by the members we serve. MREA, like our individual co-ops, is governed by a board of directors elected by our membership. This week we took a photo of the current board. Thank you to these wonderful individuals for their service! #Cooperatives
