Founded in 1936 as the first electric cooperative in Missouri, Boone Electric continues to serve the people who own their cooperative - you, the member-owners.

We are dedicated to providing the best service to you and your family or business and to being active members of the community. We're in it for the future, just as we have been in the past.
