Residents of Burleigh County and southern Sheridan County receive electricity from a leading cooperative in the region. Capital Electric Cooperative has supported rural North Dakota residents since 1948 and has expanded to provide electricity to 18,863 member-owners across 22,567 meters. Capital Electric boasts low utility rates, diverse power supplies, and reliable electricity. Nearly half (46%) of power lines are buried cable, providing continuous power during even the coldest winter months.

“In the 30 years of living in my house, I have had one outage that lasted more than 10 minutes,” says Wes Engbrecht, Manager of Communications and IT for Capital Electric. “We also have a reputation for being very responsive. If you report an outage, there’s a good chance one of our linemen is already out working on it.”

Reliable and affordable utilities are important for any community, but Capital Electric has a direct impact on the businesses and residents who call Bismarck-Mandan home. Learn more about the value they provide.
