Duck River Electric company history timeline

1936

May 1936 The established electric companies were powerful and well organized, and Roosevelt’s executive order was largely ignored.

Duck River Electric Membership Corporation, an electric cooperative, was democratically founded in 1936 by a group of community-focused citizens with the goal of providing central station electric power to rural areas that previously were unserved.

1937

August 1937 The cooperative secured its first REA loan of $379,000 to expand power line construction and negotiated a wholesale contract to purchase electricity from TVA. The cooperative was up and running, based on a successful business plan that is still in place today.

1951

DREMC’s promise of reliable electric power was tested by power outages in January and February 1951 when a large portion of its service area was damaged by severe sleet and ice storms.

1986

In 1986, DREMC celebrated 50 years of providing electric power to this region: still member-owned, nonprofit and ardently seeking the best ways to serve the needs of members, who had now owned this corporation for half a century.
