Consolidated Electric is a not-for-profit electric utility owned by the consumer-members who use the electricity and other services it provides. Headquartered in Mexico, Missouri, the cooperative serves parts of Audrain, Callaway, Monroe, Montgomery, Pike and Ralls Counties. CEC currently serves more than 7, 840 meters for homes, farms, businesses and industry members and maintains more than 2, 240 miles of energized power lines. Members may have already read letters that were mailed the first week of January about the decision your board of directors are facing about building or not building a new Cooperative office. The current office was originally built in 1952. Through the years, numerous problems throughout the building have developed. Despite repair attempts, the current office is in a state of deterioration and is posing significant health and safety issues.
