Our Territory

Our service territory is known for its breathtaking scenery — winding roads, dense forests, and sweeping valleys — but that same beauty also brings unique challenges for our lineworkers. From steep terrain to remote, hard-to-reach locations, maintaining reliable electric service in these hills requires skill, determination, and a deep commitment to safety.

 

Our headquarters, located at 4848 St. Rt. 325 South outside Rio Grande, Ohio, serves as the hub of our operations.

 

With an average of 7 consumers per mile of line, our distribution system stretches across approximately 2,600 miles of primary and secondary lines — delivering dependable electricity to homes, farms, and businesses throughout the communities we call home.
