History

Clay County Electric Cooperative Corp. was organized in 1938. We were formed to provide reliable, low cost electric service to our members. We are headquartered in Corning with district offices in Pocahontas and Rector.

The cooperative currently has over 8,500 members, serves over 13,200 accounts, and operates approximately 2,800 miles of electrical distribution line.

Serving members in the counties: Clay, Greene, Randolph, Butler, MO, Ripley, MO, and Oregon, MO. There have been tremendous changes in both the quality of electric service and the way it is provided since those early days. Due to municipal growth and population shifts, the cooperative today makes use of the latest in technology to provide service to parts of most area towns and industrial parks.

Clay County Electric Cooperative Corp. operates under the Arkansas Public Service Commission jurisdiction.

It is a member of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association located at Washington, D.C. It is also a member and part owner of the Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corporation and Arkansas Electric Cooperatives, Inc.
