Who We Are

Valley Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. is a consumer-owned utility providing reliable electric service to more than 20,000 consumers. As a cooperative, Valley is owned by the people it serves. These consumer-owners are members of the cooperative. They are represented by a board of directors, chosen from and elected by the membership.

Since Valley REC is a not-for-profit business, the goal of the cooperative is to offer its members dependable electric service at the lowest possible cost. To help reach this goal, the co-op employs nearly 70 local residents.

Where We Are

Located among the rolling ridges and valleys of south-central Pennsylvania, Valley REC has a service territory that includes parts of Bedford, Blair, Centre, Franklin, Fulton, Huntingdon, Juniata, and Mifflin counties.

Valley Rural Electric Cooperative has its new headquarters located south of Huntingdon on Fairgrounds Road in Huntingdon County. Valley has district offices at Martinsburg in Blair County, at Shade Gap in Huntingdon County, and north of Huntingdon on Stading Stone Road in Huntingdon County.

How We Are

Valley REC was incorporated November 1, 1938, to provide electric service to rural areas of its service territory. The cooperative energized its first lines on November 17, 1939.

Since that time, the cooperative has grown steadily. Today Valley maintains more than 2,700 miles of line in its distribution territory, with a total physical plant worth well over $50 million.
