About Us
Welcome to Farmers Electric, where we are not just an electric utility -- we are an electric cooperative. With us, you're not just a customer. You are a member and owner of Farmers Electric. You have a voice in the policies and practices of our business. Unlike some electric companies, we're a non-profit organization that is locally owned and operated. Our employees are your neighbors. Working to improve the quality of life in the communities we serve is the cornerstone of our daily operations.


Formed in 1937 to bring electricity to the rural areas of East Texas, today we serve more than 30,000 homes and businesses in the fast-growing region spanning Dallas, Collin, Rockwall, Hunt, Kaufman, Rains, Hopkins, Delta, Franklin, Fannin, Van Zandt and Wood counties in Texas.

We continually strive to be recognized as an exceptional cooperative by our customers, employees and communities, and to exceed our customers' expectations for quality and services.

With careful management of resources, dedicated employees and strategic planning, we've managed to keep our electricity prices low and our service reliability high for more than 60 years.
