In 1935, less than 11% of the farms in the United States had electric service. Commercial power companies couldn't foresee the possibilities of providing electricity to Rural America. They were not interested in serving rural areas. Municipal systems had taken the stand that it would not be profitable for them to serve Rural America, because of the sparsely populated areas. Thus, Rural Electric Cooperatives were born.

Kay Electric was organized in 1937 by a group of area farmers. These community leaders had a vision. They knew if Rural America was to grow and prosper that electricity was vital to their progress. They also knew the potential membership - neighbors and friends - just like you. Their foresight, and the foresight of many others, has brought Kay Electric to where it is today.

Where are we today?
Kay Electric's objective is providing dependable, quality electrical service at competitive prices to our member-owners. Today, KEC provides electricity to the rural areas in all or parts of Kay, Grant, Noble, Osage and Garfield counties.

Kay Electric's service territory spans more than 2,400 miles of line and services more than 5,620 meters from Medford to Perry to Shidler and to the Oklahoma-Kansas state line.

We're a service organization. And we're just a phone call away. Call us anytime you have a question about your bill, an electrical outage or need help or information. If your electricity goes off, we have a 24-hour-a-day answering service. In Blackwell call 363-1260; outside of Blackwell, call us toll-free at 1-800-535-1079. As soon as that phone call is received, you can rest assured that steps are being taken to mend your service interruption.

How are we structured?
Kay Electric is divided into nine districts. Each district holds District Meetings on a three-year rotating basis, where you and your neighbors select two candidates from your district to be on the ballot at the Annual Meeting.

The Annual Meeting is held in April each year. Annual Meetings are fun and business mixed together. At the Annual Meeting, the membership at large elects three Trustees to serve on the Board of Trustees for a three-year period. These Trustees govern the operations of your Cooperative, and hire a General Manager, who in turn, hires employees to work at your Cooperative.

Trustees represent their respective District much in the same way a Representative represents his constituents in State and National Government.

Member-owners have selected nine of the best Board Members in Oklahoma to make policies and oversee the general operation of Kay Electric.
