The Rural Electric Cooperatives organization has expanded from ten members to more than 900 systems across 42 states since 1942. It coordinates congressional outreach, provides industry data, and educates members and the public on power use and cooperative governance.
Rep Lester R. Johnson notes REA funded electric systems boost tax revenues for schools and roads, raise farm incomes, and improve local government finances. He cites retirement benefits for over 6,000 employees, a $4 million retirement fund, safety and training programs, and strong local ownership under cooperative rural electrification.
The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association guides rural power groups as they expand use of electricity on farms. Members seek affordable firm energy, extend electric light to underserved areas, and explore atomic power potential for rural regions. More than 1,000 cooperatives join statewide associations to secure durable rural electricity and national economic progress.
