MREA vendor members enjoy extraordinary access
to decision-makers at 44 distribution cooperatives
and six generation and transmission cooperatives.
Together, Minnesota's electric cooperatives employ
over 3,000 people, serve more than 840,000 customer
meters (1.8 million people) in 90% of the geographic
area. They sell almost 15 MWh of electricity per year
(about 22.9 percent of the state's total electricity
sold), which generates $1.8 billion in revenues.

and phone number, please call us at 804-469-8790 or email
[email protected].

the ability to add a video to the listing along with other
benefits.
FEATURED LISTING – $799/yearIncludes everything in the enhanced
listing plus the ability to attach whitepapers and PDFs to the
listing, the ability to integrate the company social media directly
on to the custom profile page, and the option to add multiple
videos.
