What Makes Co-ops Different

There’s a strong reason why employees of Southern Iowa Electric Cooperative are genuinely proud to be part of an electric cooperative; Cooperatives are built on a foundation of principles and strong values. At Southern Iowa Electric Cooperative (SIEC) and across the nation, employees at electric cooperatives strive to provide more than just reliable electricity. We strive to support our local communities, educate and train, promote economic participation among our members and give full control to our membership through democratic member control.

SIEC was founded and is still run by the people who live and work in the communities we serve. Instead of operating on a for-profit idea, we operate on a not-for-profit, membership owned business principle with a shared set of values: honesty, openness, caring for others, and social responsibility. We strive to listen to the opinions of our members through our Advisory Committee. This group, made up of 40 SIEC members, attend 2 meetings a year. Our goal is to educate our members about aspects of the electric industry they may not be aware of; as well as, listening to their feedback on cooperative programs and activities.
