Message from the Manager
Welcome to YOUR cooperative. Unlike most other companies, MGEC was formed and is owned entirely by you and the other members we serve. Our purpose is not to maximize profits for shareholders – we are non-profit. Our mission is to provide reliable and competitively priced electricity to all persons and entities within our service area in order to maintain and improve their quality of life, now and into the future.
