Electric co-op owned equipment vs member-owned equipment

Dakota Electric delivers electricity to members through either overhead or underground service. Please be aware of which type of service you receive at your home or business.

This graphic depicts equipment owned by the co-op (in gold) and the member (in blue). If a storm damages any equipment owned by the co-op, we are responsible for repairs. If a storm damages any member-owned equipment, the member is responsible for repairs. Members should hire a licensed electrician when making any repairs to member-owned equipment.
