Wright-Hennepin Cooperative Electric Association is a member-owned, not-for-profit electric utility that provides power to rural Wright County and western Hennepin County. The cooperative has been a corporate citizen to the area since 1937 and currently serves more than 55,000 electric accounts. It is headquartered in Rockford, MN.
What does it mean to be a member-owner? Being a member-owner of Wright-Hennepin distinguishes you from other electric utility customers in a number of ways:
- Your voice is heard. You have an input regarding setting policy through a nine-member board elected by you and other Wright-Hennepin members in the local area. Board members serve three-year terms and elections are held at an Annual Meeting each spring.
- You share in the “profits” of the cooperative. Since the first capital credit refunds were made by WH in 1957, WH has returned more than $82 million to its members.
Additionally, the Cooperative manages for-profit businesses under the WH Holding brand. WH Holding exists as an independent business structure that offers innovative and competitive products and services; it was created to manage risk, optimize resources, increase strategic energy sales, deliver complementary benefits and generate profits to offset the retail price of electricity for WH members.
To enhance the lives of our membership, Wright-Hennepin started a home security company in 1989 called WH Security. WH Security provides homes and businesses in the Twin Cities area with home alarm systems and monitoring.
