Verendrye Electric Cooperative
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Verendrye Electric Cooperative is a public utility cooperative based in Velva, North Dakota. It serves as the electric distribution utility in a portion of north central North Dakota. Verendrye Electric receives power from the Central Power Electric Cooperative - in fact, Verendrye took the lead in establishing Central Power in 1949 after having to deal with a 30% rate hike from its previous power supplier in 1948.
It is named after the French Canadian explorer La Vérendrye; in its early years it was headquartered in the small town of Verendrye (northwest of Karlsruhe; now a ghost town).
