For more than 85 years, North Arkansas Electric Cooperative’s directors and employees have worked to improve the quality of life of those we serve — our more than 30,600 members. The co-op does this in a multitude of ways, including:
• By maintaining more than 5,000 miles of electric line in portions of eight counties to ensure reliable service and public safety.
• By delivering fiber-optic inte
rnet to more than 21,500 subscribers as well as the economic, educational and entertainment benefits high-speed access affords through NEXT, Powered by NAEC.
• By returning more than $27 million in capital credits to members in the past 10 years and distinguishing NAEC from investor-owned utilities.
• By upholding the cooperative principle of “concern for community” and supporting our 12 public school districts, area chambers of commerce, county fair associations, first responders, city ball programs and local nonprofit organizations. Our cornerstone is providing members reliable, affordable and responsible electricity while ensuring the co-op’s financial stability for decades to come. NAEC is regulated by the Arkansas Public Service Commission and the federal government and is independently audited annually.
