Since 1937, Connexus Energy has provided electricity and related products and services to the North Metropolitan Twin Cities area. Today, Connexus Energy is the largest and one of the fastest growing electric distribution cooperatives in Minnesota, serving the energy needs of our customers across portions Anoka, Chisago, Hennepin, Isanti, Ramsey, Sherburne, and Washington counties. When it comes to delivering reliable power at a fair price, Connexus Energy is an ongoing leader in customer satisfaction.
As an electric cooperative, Connexus Energy belongs to its members, NOT shareholders. The cooperative is governed by a Board of Directors, elected by its members. So what makes us different from other utilities that are run by far-away investors?
Your most powerful membership. Those four words make up our new vision statement. The simple statement focuses 
on the most important part of our cooperative – you – our member. In a cooperative, everything we do is for the benefit of our membership. The new vision inspires all of us at Connexus Energy to build powerful partnerships with our members every day.
Connexus Energy serves our membership by providing cost competitive, reliable electricity and related services, with an environmental commitment, affirming the value of member cooperative ownership.
With 792 solar panels and an output of 245 kilowatts, Connexus Energy builds SolarWise, one of the largest community solar gardens in Minnesota. Community solar is a relatively new option for those who want to participate in solar energy production but can’t install their own solar panels.
