By now you may have noticed the new Touchstone Energy graphic symbol accompanying the familiar name and logo of Steele-Waseca Cooperative Electric. Steele-Waseca Cooperative Electric has partnered with more than 550 electric cooperatives across the United States in a brand and marketing effort which identifies cooperative utilities as providing superior customer service while maintaining a strong local presence. Partnering through Touchstone Energy allows us to associate with a national network of energy co-ops under one unified and positive brand identity. A "touchstone" is defined as evoking images of making contact, having a solid base and being a tangible reminder of truth. That defines our commitment to you our customer. We are proud of our local connection to the customers and communities we serve.
you know it is a locally-owned, community-minded energy cooperative providing high standards of service for all customers large and small No matter how you define it, energy cooperatives are good for the community. We provide reliable at-cost energy, to businesses and homeowners alike. With the Touchstone Energy brand we are telling our customers they can continue to count on us, a locally-owned and managed electric utility, to be an advocate for their energy and community needs. |

SAFETY, SERVICE and OPERATIONAL RELIABILITYSteele-Waseca Cooperative Electric is more than just another utility operating miles of power lines, transformers, and meters. Our company's most valuable asset is people - our customers, our directors and our employees. Our employees priorities are SAFETY, SERVICE, and OPERATIONAL RELIABILITY, because we know how much our customers depend on their electricity. When electrical problems occur we work around the clock to restore power to our customers. Our line crew is at its best when the weather is at its worst. Steele-Waseca Cooperative Electric was formed on October 10, 1936, when Waseca Cooperative Electric and Steele County Cooperative Electric were merged into one organization with a combined membership of 860. On March 31, 1937, a Rice County group called the Cannon Valley Cooperative Power and Light Association joined the new Cooperative to make up, what is still today, the core of our service area. (Steele, Waseca, and Rice Counties) Since its beginning, the Cooperative has grown steadily to our present membership of more than 8,000 consumers. As the membership and load increased so did the need for more power, more lines, and more facilities to carry that power. Today SWCE has more than 1,900 miles of line, 16 substations in service, and 900 square miles of service territory. For further information on the above programs please call SWCE at 507-451-7340 during normal business hours. Web Weaver: VoyageurWeb |
