The Touchstone Energy^® Cooperatives brand represents a nationwide alliance made of more than 700 local, member-owned electric cooperatives in 46 states. Touchstone Energy co-ops collectively deliver power and energy solutions to more than 30 million members every day. Electric cooperatives distribute power across 56 percent of the U.S. land mass, spanning 2.4 million miles of power lines.

Electric cooperatives were established to provide electricity to rural America and now make up the largest electric utility network in the nation. Touchstone Energy is the national brand identity for that network.

Community-friendly values, combined with a cooperative business model, are what make electric co-ops strong. As a not-for-profit entity, members can trust their electric co-op because it was created to deliver on the promise of providing safe and reliable electricity to its members, not to generate profits for shareholders.

What Makes Touchstone Energy Cooperatives Different

Touchstone Energy co-ops are owned by the members they serve and are committed to providing reliable electricity at the lowest price possible. In short, co-ops "look out" for the members they serve.

All Touchstone Energy members exemplify high standards of service by upholding the four core values of integrity, accountability, innovation, and a commitment to community. Touchstone Energy co-ops prioritize their members and consistently maintain a local, member-driven, community-focused vision. 

Across the country, local Touchstone Energy co-ops work to improve members’ quality of life by taking a leadership role in community and economic development projects and forging strong partnerships with business members, as well as generously donating time, energy, and resources to their local communities. 

The Touchstone Energy logo signifies that the cooperative understands the power of human connections and leverages the strength of a national network to work in your neighborhood.
