Who We Are
Scenic Rivers Energy Cooperative is a private, non-profit utility, owned by the members it serves.
All persons receiving electric service from us are members of the cooperative. The members elect nine directors who in turn hire a CEO who hires personnel to operate the day to day business functions. While the directors are responsible for guiding the cooperative by setting policies, the employees of Scenic Rivers Energy ensure that you have safe and reliable electric service.
Vision Statement
Scenic Rivers Energy Cooperative is committed to being the area's most reliable provider of energy and related services. Our cooperative will strive to identify ways to improve the quality of life for our community.
Service Territory
Scenic Rivers Energy Cooperative's service territory is located in the rural areas of Grant, Crawford, and Lafayette Counties. We also have lines that extend into the adjoining counties of Green, Iowa, Vernon, and Richland in Wisconsin, and Jo Daviess and Stephenson Counties in Illinois.
