About Webster Electric
Over fifty years ago the people of the surrounding area chose to band together
to bring a necessary service to a community in need. The founding members of Webster
Electric Cooperative went to great extremes to ensure that the members of their
community would be able to receive the same services as their counterparts in
the cities. It is from this idea that the group's mission statement was born and
from this mission statement grew the cooperative. From its charter in 1946 the
cooperative has endured many changes, difficulties and trials only to emerge stronger
and more robust.From the earliest beginnings as a dream shared by a handful
of citizens to being a low-cost energy supplier for over 16,000 consumers, Webster
Electric Cooperative has evolved to be an integral part of the lives of the citizens
in a seven-county area.
Continuing with the founders'
vision, the cooperative continues to strive to provide its members with new technologies
and efficient services. As we begin the second millennium, the cooperative is
offering its members such services as surge suppression, home energy audits and
local internet connections. By offering these services, the cooperative continues
to strive to fulfill its promise to the participating members as it was written
in 1946.
