Cuivre River Electric Cooperative celebrates 75,000th meter installation

Posted

Cuivre River Electric Cooperative (CREC) recently announced a significant milestone -- celebrating the installation of its 75,000th electric meter. To commemorate this achievement and thank its growing community, the cooperative is recognizing the member who received the 75,000th meter.

Terry and Wilma Eivins were surprised with a $750 bill credit and a gift bag of cooperative merchandise, including hats, blankets, coffee mugs, and more. The Eivins, members of CREC since 1979, recently built a new home in Eolia, which marked the cooperative’s 75,000th active service connection since its founding in 1941.

“This milestone is more than just a number; it’s a powerful reflection of the trust our communities place in us, and celebrates the incredible growth in our service area,” said CREC President/CEO Doug Tracy. “We are proud to be a vital part of this expanding region, and we look forward to serving the next 75,000 members with the same dedication to reliability and community partnership.”

The cooperative has experienced steady growth over the years, driven by new residential and commercial developments within its service territory. The last milestone of 50,000 meters was in 2004, and the co-op has added thousands of new members since then, reflecting a vibrant and growing community.
