Associated Electric Cooperative Inc. is a member-owned utility that provisions wholesale electric power to a network of six regional and 51 local cooperative systems. These co-ops operate across Missouri, northeast Oklahoma, and southeast Iowa and collectively serve more than 900,000 customers. The organization is headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, and sits within the utilities sector, focusing on power supply for its member systems. As a cooperative, it is guided by the seven cooperative principles, emphasizing voluntary and open membership, democratic member control, and community concern. Within the electric utility industry, it acts as a wholesale provider rather than a consumer-focused utility. In May 2026, the company integrated with PCI Energy Solutions, migrating its multi-market power and natural gas operations to PCI's Power Energy Trading and Risk Management platform.
