Central's Energy Mix
Through our power provider, Associated Electric Cooperative Inc., Central Electric Cooperative is able to provide members with a diverse portfolio of energy. Having a diverse mix helps keep electricity affordable and reliable. Central members receive 63% of electricity from coal-powered plants, 19% from natural gas powered plants, 12% from six wind farms, and 6% from hydro powered dams. Central is proud to provide members with 18% renewables.
Central's 2MW solar array helps offset the energy use of Central's headquarters building.
This helped Central achieve LEED Gold status for the building
