Barron Electric Cooperative, formed in 1936, is a Touchstone Energy Cooperative that purchases all of its power from Dairyland Power. Most of the areas we serve are located in Barron and Washburn Counties; however, we also serve portions of Sawyer, Dunn, Chippewa, Rusk, Polk, and Burnett Counties. To maintain reliability, we annually clear over 200 miles of right-of-way and replace 150-200 poles. Safety is a priority at Barron Electric. We have presented more than 100 high-voltage demonstrations to over 21,000 students. We are committed to the communities we serve and donate and actively participate in several local organizations.
