Our building project is moving nicely along!

This week the insulation and sheetrock is going up! The weather barrier is installed on the new part of the building for the larger lunchroom/meeting room.

Window installation begins next week.

The project is on track for an October completion.

This building project renovates all of the buildings, including the original and the 1970s building, for added efficiency, housing more employees to work efficiently in serving you, our members-owners now and in the decades to come.

11 Federated members went on the Basin power plant and lignite mine tour last week. The bus was shared with two Iowa co-ops. They learned how the lignite coal is mined, how the land is restored after mining and walked through the power plant seeing the view from the top, to the furnaces burning the pulverized coal to create steam that spins the generators to make your electricity.

The group also enjoyed a riverboat ride and supper on the Missouri River, a quick stop at the Terry Redlin Art Center, plus a tour of the Lewis and Clark visitor center and fort.

Cooperatives' commitment to education, includes keeping member-owners informed about how their electricity is generated.
