Citizens Electric Corporation is a not-for-profit, member-owned electric utility based in Perryville, Missouri. It serves more than 27,000 members across Ste. Genevieve, Perry, St. Francois, Jefferson, and Bollinger counties, with a focus on safe, reliable electricity at affordable prices. The organization traces its roots to 1947, when Genevieve Electric Cooperative acquired Missouri General Utilities, and it is now Missouri's largest electric cooperative by kilowatt-hour sales among roughly 40 electric distribution cooperatives in the state. The company maintains a modest workforce to support its operations. In the utilities sector, Citizens Electric operates as a distribution cooperative that delivers essential energy services to rural communities. In 2025 it broadened its capabilities to include transmission, achieving certified market participation with the Midwest Independent System Operator as a Transmission Owner.
