With 14,744 member-owners FreeState Electric Cooperative is the largest rural electric cooperative in Eastern Kansas and the fifth largest rural electric cooperative in the state of Kansas. FreeState Electric Cooperative is the result of a member vote to consolidate Leavenworth-Jefferson and Kaw Valley Electric Cooperatives on April 19, 2016. FreeState serves nine Kansas counties (Leavenworth, Jefferson, Shawnee, Douglas, Jackson, Osage, Pottawatomie, Wabaunsee, Atchison) and provides infrastructure to Fort Leavenworth. As the rural electric and utility industry continually evolves FreeState looks beyond just the next 10 years to understand the forces and trends that will impact how we serve our member-owners. The board of trustees at FreeState remains proactive and progressive to realize the vision and mission of FreeState. Our vision is to earn the trust of our members and partners one interaction at a time, and our mission is to be an innovative, member-driven electric cooperative that exceeds our members' needs for safe, reliable, and cost-effective energy services. #WeAreFEC
