What's a distribution co-op?

The distribution part of a co-op refers to the process of delivering electricity from the high-voltage transmission grid to homes, businesses, and other end users. This involves managing and maintaining a network of substations, transformers, and power lines that reduce the voltage to safe, usable levels for everyday use. 

Essentially, a distribution co-op is responsible for the “last mile” of the electricity journey, ensuring members receive reliable and safe power directly where it’s needed.
