Co-op Contractors

The work doesn’t end for an electric utility once the power lines are in the air or underground. With a 10-county service area, nearly 6,000 miles of line, and more than 57,000 accounts, installing, maintaining, and keeping the power running takes a massive effort. CCEC augments its workforce with contractors to help with some of the heavy lifting to make it happen.

The companies below provide crucial services that aid our maintenance efforts. If you see them out in the field, there’s a chance they’re helping us keep the power on for you. If you have a question about our contractors or the work they perform, call our office at 701-356-4400.
