Rural Electrification marks 25 years of power to 16 million Americans
More than 1,000 locally owned electrical systems now serve 16 million rural residents. Since the 1935 signing of the Rural Electrification Act, REA loans built 1.5 million miles of lines and connected 984 cooperatives, 50 public power districts, and 27 public bodies, fueling a nationwide rural electricity revolution.
