East River Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. is a not-for-profit generation and transmission utility based in Madison, South Dakota. It provides wholesale power to a network of member systems—24 rural electric distribution cooperatives and one municipally owned electric system—in eastern South Dakota and western Minnesota. The end consumers in those service territories include homes, farms, schools and businesses, and the cooperative does not sell electricity directly to customers or operate for shareholders; its purpose is to improve value for its members through power, information and innovation. The cooperative operates eight regional service centers located in Aberdeen, Beresford, Brandon, Madison, Milbank, Miller, Mitchell, and Marshall, Minnesota. It is positioned within the utilities sector as a member-owned cooperative guided by cooperative principles and values such as integrity, accountability, innovation and community commitment. A recent development includes a partnership with Open Access Technology International to deploy a software-based solution intended to optimize demand management and strengthen grid reliability for its member systems.
