The people who work at Wheatland Electric Cooperative Inc., are more than just employees who clock in and out each day. 

We're a group of incredible people – from many walks of life – who work together to fulfill our cooperative mission: delivering energy for life.

Who WE Are is all about these folks who work behind the scenes to deliver on that promise.

It's a promise we've kept for nearly three-quarters of a century. It began in 1948 when nine visionary western Kansas residents decided to take matters into their own hands. They were tired of being left behind by big, for-profit power companies that didn’t want to spend the money to connect our rural communities to the grid. In 1950, through their own grit and determination, they were ready to welcome an additional 2,246 members.

Today, we're proud to power more than 30,000 homes and businesses over 4,500 miles of electrical lines across our southwest and south-central Kansas service territory and three Colorado counties. All thanks to the amazing people who work together – around the clock – to make that happen. 

These are their stories – your neighbors and your friends. We live where you do, and we're rooted in our communities just like you. We hope our stories power you, just like the energy we deliver every day!
