Your electric cooperative can develop a relationship with a sister utility in a developing country.

There are two major goals of the Sister Cooperative Programs:

• To promote activities that expand the professional capabilities of the respective staffs and help each organization become more effective in meeting the mission of consumer-owned electric service, and
• To develop a deeper understanding of each of their cultures, communities, and working environments.

If you’re interested in pursuing a sister cooperative relationship yourself, please contact the NRECA International Foundation by phone at (703 907-5500 or by email at InternationalPrograms@nreca.coop.

Currently, a number of U.S. cooperative are actively working with sister cooperatives overseas to spread electricity through the developing world. See who they are and what they are doing!
