Warren Electric History

Warren Electric Cooperative was incorporated in May 1939, thanks to the efforts of local farmers and business leaders committed to bringing electricity to rural areas of Warren County. The first substation was energized in 1940 in Pittsfield, and the original office was also located there until moving to Youngsville in 1943.

Today, Warren Electric operates six substations, three metering points, and maintains 1,050 miles of distribution line, serving over 8,500 meters across Warren, Forest, Venango, Crawford, and Erie counties.

As a member-owned cooperative, you have a voice in how we operate. Each year on May 15, members elect a Board of Directors during the annual meeting. This nine-member Board, elected from the general membership, sets policy and makes decisions in the best interest of all members.

Unlike investor-owned utilities—where stockholders elect the Board and consumers have no direct influence—Warren Electric members are both consumers and owners. Your voice matters here.
