One of the most unique benefits of being a member of Pioneer — or any cooperative — is your ability to democratically elect fellow members to represent you on the Pioneer boards. All of the candidates, both for trustee and county board positions, are consumer-members of Pioneer Electric and your community. They are concerned with the issues you face every day because they face them as well. Board election packets are now being mailed out to all members earlier than planned, on Tuesday, Feb. 4, to accommodate for mail delays we are experiencing within the postal system. As in the...

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.

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.
