Electric Cooperatives Know What Works

There's no sugarcoating the power crisis we face as Americans. Over the past five years, electric bills have shot up 30 percent on average, largely because of sharply rising costs for coal, natural gas and basic construction materials such as steel, concrete and copper.

At the same time, electricity consumption continues to increase. In some regions—the West in particular—demand will soon outstrip supply, according to the North America Electric Reliability Corporation, which oversees reliability of the U.S. power grid.

Electric cooperatives, growing much faster than other sectors of the electric utility industry, face a double-whammy in all of this. A report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture finds we will need to double existing generation capacity by 2020 to keep the lights on. This means adding power plants that will be the most expensive in history thanks to escalating prices, inflation, international competition for raw resources, labor and expertise, as well as impending federal climate change mandates.
