Welcome to the Cooperative! We are excited to be the Cooperative serving your electric needs!

Upon joining (no membership fee) SEMO Electric Cooperative, you become a member and owner rather than a customer. What does that mean? Lots of things. Most importantly, the Cooperative is owned by those it serves so margins (profits) are returned to SEMO Electric's members in the form of capital credits (money back based on your use). If you move away, please give us your new address so we can forward your check.

Let's get started:
