Our service area covers 3,000 square miles and includes portions of Creek, McIntosh, Muskogee, Okfuskee, Okmulgee, Tulsa and Wagoner counties. The Cooperative’s $112,885,591 net electric plant provides service at cost to 32,965 meters through a network of 6,154 miles of power lines and 23 substations. Service crews are stationed in Bixby, Bristow, Checotah, Muskogee, Okemah and Okmulgee. Major wholesale power sources are KAMO Power, Vinita, and Western Farmers Electric, Anadarko. The Cooperative is financed by loans from the National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation (CFC), Rural Utilities Service (RUS), CoBank and paid-in capital from member/owners. The Cooperative’s policies are set by a seven-member board of Trustees, elected for three-year terms by the member/owners. They represent seven districts. A Manager supervises the operation of the Cooperative with the aid of five departments: Member Services, Office Services, Accounting, Human Resources and Operations & Engineering.

East Central Oklahoma Electric Cooperative reposted this
While addressing the crowd at last week's groundbreaking ceremony in Slick, Representative and Speaker-Designate Kyle Hilbert mentioned that the rural broadband project was a prime example of what the Legislature wanted to accomplish when it created the office with the mission of bringing high-speed internet to the entire state. We are grateful to Rep. Hilbert and his fellow Legislators for their support as we continue to provide access to Oklahoma’s unserved and underserved communities.
