EnerStar Electric Cooperative is a proud member of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA)
NRECA is the national service organization dedicated to representing the interests of cooperative electric utilities and the consumers they serve. Its Board of Directors oversees the association's activities and consists of 47 members — one from each state with an electric distribution cooperative.
Founded in 1942, NRECA was organized to help member cooperatives overcome World War II–era shortages of electric construction materials, secure insurance coverage for newly built rural electric systems, and address wholesale power challenges. Since then, it has continued to advocate for member-owned cooperatives on energy and operational issues, as well as rural community and economic development.
Today, nearly 900 local electric cooperatives and public power districts belong to NRECA, together serving 42 million people across more than 50% of the nation's landmass. NRECA's membership also includes related organizations formed by these local utilities — generation and transmission cooperatives for power supply, statewide and regional trade and service associations, supply and manufacturing cooperatives, data processing cooperatives, and employee credit unions.
