With summer in full swing, it's common to experience higher electric bills due to increased air conditioning use. Butler Rural Electric Cooperative is here to help you save.
Butler Rural Electric Cooperative is governed by a nine-person board of trustees. You have a say in who’s on the board and can vote for board members each spring.
More than 450 members tuned in to this year’s annual meeting. The meeting was led by Board of Trustees President David Evans, General Manager Tom Wolfenbarger, and Attorney Lee Geiger. The meeting began with a prayer from board member Scott Lessing and a pledge led by Butler Rural Electric Cooperative’s employees.
As we settle into the heat of July, our homes naturally use more electricity. Air conditioners run longer, refrigerators work harder, and daily routines, from cooking dinner to doing laundry, often overlap during the warmest parts of the day. That’s also when the demand for electricity across our community is at its highest.
During Butler Rural Electric Cooperative’s annual meeting April 30, members approved the 2025 annual meeting minutes and the 2027 nominating committee members.
When you flip a switch, electricity is there – instant, reliable, and ready to power your day. Behind that simple moment is a carefully coordinated system made of many grid power players, all working together to keep the lights on.
