Missouri River Energy Services is a mid-sized utility services organization based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It began in the early 1960s as the Missouri Basin Municipal Power Agency to help municipalities that run their own electric systems coordinate planning for future power supply and shared challenges; the entity was renamed Missouri River Energy Services in 1998, while maintaining its original purpose. The organization serves primarily public power utilities—municipal electric systems that operate their own networks—by enabling collaboration and joint problem-solving on energy planning and reliability. Within the utilities sector, MRES acts as a cooperative partner that supports member utilities in planning and coordinating energy supply and infrastructure projects. Recent activity includes a collaboration to develop a 345-kilovolt transmission line with Otter Tail Power, highlighting its role in joint transmission infrastructure initiatives.
