Butler Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. is a member-owned distribution electric company.
Founded in 1936 by a group of local farmers who wanted to bring electricity to the rural areas in Butler, Hamilton, Preble and Montgomery counties, the cooperative is still owned and operated by the members it serves. Throughout the years, the cooperative has grown to serve 11,500 members in 17 local townships. Since the incorporation of the cooperative in 1936, the board of trustees and employees have worked diligently to hold down costs and provide safe, reliable and affordable electric service to all members. The founders of Butler Rural Electric Cooperative managed to build the lines and infrastructure necessary to serve members at a fraction of the cost that investor-owned utilities did. Today, we still look at every cost associated with the day-to-day operation of the cooperative, keeping members' rates in mind, and evaluate the necessity and impact of those decisions. We take pride in serving our community locally. The employees and trustees, past and present, are the neighbors, friends and family of our members. Our office is located in the heart of our territory, and we enjoy actively participating in community functions. We will always work for the people we serve, to enhance their lives, and provide them with safe, affordable and reliable electric service.
