Capital Electric Cooperative is committed to providing safe, reliable and efficient electric power at a reasonable cost to all member owners.
With headquarters in Bismarck, N.D., and a service center in Wing, Capital Electric Cooperative has provided electricity to our consumer-members in Burleigh and southern Sheridan counties since 1948. We also serve portions of Emmons, Kidder and McLean. We take pride in being progressive yet friendly, service-oriented yet energy conscious.
As a cooperative, we are owned and governed by the members we serve. Our directors on the board are elected by the membership, so they have a vested interest in the operation of the cooperative. Learn more about how Capital Electric proudly returns its margins back to the members it serves in the form of Capital Credits.

Members, thanks for attending YOUR Annual Meeting!

| During the co-op’s business meeting, three members were elected to serve three-year terms on the board of directors. Sheri Haugen-Hoffart (right), Bismarck, was re-elected to represent District 1, and David Liuska and Arlene Olson, Wing, were re-elected to represent District 2. |
Capital Electric Cooperative held its annual meeting on Tuesday, June 4, at the Ramkota Hotel in Bismarck. The co-op served 1,150 meals, and with a quorum present, members voted to pass a resolution which will authorize the Capital Electric board of directors to join Central Power Electric Cooperative as a consolidated member. They also re-elected three members to the co-op's board of directors: incumbent Sheri Haugen-Hoffart will continue to serve District 1, and incumbents David Liuska and Arlene Olson will continue to serve District 2. We thank Daphne Ghorbani, Claus Lembke and David Houn for running for a board position and offering to serve their electric cooperative. For more information on the co-op's 67th annual meeting of the membership, read the July "local" pages of the North Dakota Living magazine.
