Have you heard of the Cooperative Difference?
Two aspects of a cooperative make us different from other types of utilities.
At KEM Electric Cooperative members are owners in the cooperative. We exist because of you.
We were formed to bring safe, affordable and reliable energy and services to our members--it's our mission and purpose.
Our members elect 7 fellow members to represent them on the board of directors, maintaining democratic control of the cooperative.
We are local. Our headquarters is in Linton, ND with an outpost in Steele, ND.
When you need to talk to someone simply call or stop in and visit with a KEM employee right here in your community.
