Maintaining affordable and reliable service

United Electric Cooperative has two key missions – powering and empowering Northwest Missouri. We take those missions seriously, because we know that affordable and reliable electricity is fundamental to your quality of life and the economy.

One regulation that will increase costs is the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan. Missouri co-op members spoke out loudly against the rule, sending more than 300,000 messages telling EPA not to increase electric bills. But those messages fell on deaf ears.

Fortunately, the new administration is listening.

Recently, President Trump signed a new Executive Order directing EPA and other federal agencies to review the Clean Power Plan. This announcement is welcome news and we look forward to working with EPA and our members to pursue proposals that maintain affordable and reliable electricity while protecting our environment and promoting a healthy economy.
