Everything we do revolves around you – our community. Pioneer brings the focus to our local communities and our neighbors. That is the cooperative difference.

I personally have never had issues with Pioneer and have used them for 6 years. I’m actually thankful for them after hearing the horror stories about AES and how long it takes power to be restored and their prices. Anytime our electric goes out, it is restored quickly. I think the longest we’ve been without power is maybe 3 hours. The pricing has gone up a little over the years but nothing significant to complain about.

Jason

Jackie

I would like to show our appreciation for keeping our power on, on a day when 'everyone else' didn't have power. Thank you!

Steven

I have always had faith in Pioneer over the past 40 years, but we just keep getting better.

I am very happy with the service. Outages are almost non-existent. If there is an outage, it usually only lasts a matter of minutes. That is very important during inclement weather.
