The Minnesota Rural Electric Association is a service organization that serves as the statewide voice for Minnesota’s electric utility cooperatives. It provides expertise in public awareness, safety training, legislative research and lobbying, and industry education through a small staff and a member board drawn from the co-ops. Its membership includes 44 electric distribution cooperatives and 6 generation-and-transmission cooperatives, collectively serving about 780,000 customer meters—or roughly 1.8 million Minnesotans—across about 85 percent of the state’s geographic area. Based in Maple Grove, Minnesota, the association functions as a resource and coordinating body for its member cooperatives, which are locally owned and governed by boards elected by consumer-members under cooperative principles. In 2026, MREA expanded its footprint with a new Maple Grove headquarters and appointed Cody Raveling as director of safety services, signaling a focus on safety and organizational growth.
