About

Since 1939, the electric power provided by Southwest Electric Cooperative has empowered our member-owners to progress from the daily chores of rural living and improve the quality of their lives. SWEC, founded in October 1939 by local folks who banded together with the help of low-interest loans from the Rural Electrification Administration. The founding members established SWEC as a not-for-profit, private electric cooperative owned by those it serves - the members.
