How to Get Electric Service in Your Name

Becoming a member

We are an electric cooperative, and that makes us unique. As a cooperative, we are led by our consumer-members; in order to have service with Menard Electric Cooperative you must first become a member.

To become a member you will need to fill out a new membership card and pay a one-time $25 new membership fee. We will run a utility credit check from the information on the card to determine if a security deposit is required, and how much. To get your membership completed and service put in your name you can visit us in the office or we can e-mail or mail a membership card to you - please allow adequate time for receiving and returning the card.

Connecting an existing service

To connect a service, you will need to be a member and have paid a deposit if required. You will need to provide us with the service location and/or meter number, and a date you wish to begin. Please allow us adequate time to transfer a service.

Building a new service

If you are building a new home or business on our lines, please contact us early in the process. It takes time to plan and build your service to have electricity available when your builder needs it. Give us a call or leave us a message.
