As a member of Riverland Energy Cooperative, you are among 42 million Americans who can claim ownership in a not-for-profit consumer-controlled utility that provides electricity at cost. The Action Committee for Rural Electrification (ACRE®) is the political action committee of the nation’s electric cooperatives.

Founded in 1966, ACRE supports candidates for the U.S. House and Senate who will speak for and protect the interests of electric cooperatives and their members.

If you are interested in learning more about the Co-op Owners for Political Action program, give us a call at (800) 411-9115.

Electric cooperative leaders attend NRECA's legislative conference each year, which impacts electric cooperative priorities nationwide and any corresponding legislation.

NRECA discusses national electric cooperative issues & what's being done to address them.
