Todd‑Wadena Electric Cooperative is a rural electric distribution system serving central Minnesota. We are a not‑for‑profit, tax‑paying, member‑owned cooperative, locally managed and guided by the people we serve. Because our members are also our owners, they have a direct voice in how their cooperative operates.

We are governed by a seven‑member board of directors elected by the membership at our Annual Meeting each April. The cooperative employs 28 dedicated staff members who work year‑round to support our members and maintain a dependable electric system.

Todd-Wadena Electric Cooperative receives its wholesale power from Great River Energy (87%) and Western Area Power Administration (13%).

Founded in 1940, Todd‑Wadena Electric Cooperative now serves more than 7,700 members and over 9,500 member services. Our system includes 2,300+ miles of line, averaging just 3.2 members per mile-a hallmark of rural electric cooperatives. Our service territory covers most of Todd and Wadena counties, along with portions of Becker, Cass, Douglas, Hubbard, Otter Tail, and Morrison counties.

For more than 80 years, we’ve been proud to power the homes, farms, and businesses of our region—and we remain committed to providing the dependable service and community‑focused values our members expect.
