Our Story

Built by the Community,
Built to Last

Steuben Rural Electric Cooperative was founded in 1941 when the Rural Electrification Act made it possible to bring power to parts of New York State that big utilities ignored. Eighty-five years later, we're still answering to the people who need us most — not shareholders.

As a member-owned cooperative, every decision we make starts with a simple question: Does this serve our members? That philosophy guides our rates, our emergency response, and the way we invest in our grid.

Our headquarters in Cherry Creek has been the heart of our operation since day one. From here, our crews reach every corner of Steuben County — from rolling farmland to remote hillside homes — with the same commitment to reliability and safety.

Electrical Safety
Matters to Everyone

Whether it's reporting a downed line, keeping children safe around transformers, or preparing for severe weather, we share practical safety guidance every season.

Downed Lines

Always assume a downed line is live. Call us immediately and stay far away.

Storm Prep

Trim trees near lines, charge devices, and have an emergency kit ready before the season hits.

Know Your Meter

Never attempt to service your own meter. Report any damage or concerns to us directly.

Kids & Electricity

Teach children to stay away from utility poles, transformers, and fallen power lines.
