The Associated advantage
Members – those families, business owners and industries at the end of their local co-op’s distribution lines – are what Associated is all about. Learn more about how our service and business model deliver affordable electricity.
Economic development
Associated leads efforts and offers support services to attract economic development across Missouri, southern Iowa and northeast Oklahoma. In collaboration with member-owner transmission cooperatives and distribution cooperatives, our three-tiered system of electric co-ops plays a crucial role in bringing new businesses, job opportunities and growth to our home communities.
Incentivizing energy efficiency
Energy efficiency is one of the most cost-effective resources Associated Electric Cooperative provides to meet its mission of providing a reliable power supply for members. Associated’s energy efficiency program helps members save on their electric bills and gives the cooperative another tool to control the rising cost of generating electricity.
Affirming financial strength
Associated’s annual credit rating review process is critical to ensuring affordability and is a key indicator of the cooperative’s financial strength.
