Seventy-five years ago there was no electricity in rural Texoma. In fact, prior to 1935 only four percent of families in all of rural America had electricity.

With the creation of SWRE and her sister electric co-ops in the late 1930s and early 1940s, our nation's rural countryside came alive.

Today with the flip of a switch there is dependable and economical electricity for homes and farms, as well as business and industrial enterprises.

SWRE members are owners of a multi-million dollar cooperative that serves 6,000 square miles spanning parts of 11 counties in Oklahoma and Texas. SWRE trustees, management and employees realize, though, that true success is measured, not in miles of line or electricity sold, but in member satisfaction.
