Team Midwest history
Team Midwest company history timeline
Ours is the story of two of these cooperatives: Southeastern Michigan Rural Electric Cooperative, and Fruit Belt Electric Cooperative, both born in 1937.
On July 30, 1938, Fruit Belt energized lines to its first 133 customers.
Our name was initially Western Farm Bureau Electric Cooperative (renamed Midwest Electric, Inc., in 1938). The average residential Midwest Electric member used 47 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per month in those early years.
Then in 1952, LaVern Becker is elected to the Board; together, Becker and Goodman would lead CKEC to pursue growth and cost control.
High school hockey teams from across the state came together in the fall of 1976 to organize the Iowa High School Hockey League.
In the fall of 1980 the League was officially incorporated as a non-profit organization to be called the Iowa High School Hockey League, Inc.
On February 23, 1982, the Waterloo Warriors and Columbus faced off at McElroy Auditorium in front of 3,800 high school hockey fans.
The cooperative launched its smart grid in 1982, featuring load control and the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system.
The first All-Star game was held January 21, 1986, at the North Iowa Recreational Center in Mason City.
In 1988, with the vision of creating a quality service company, Ron created Midwest Contracting Ltd.
Although the culture has developed, the foundation of Midwest is the same as it was in 1988.
Finally, in 1997, something beautiful happened: Fruit Belt Electric Cooperative and Southeastern Energy Cooperative (remember them?) held merger discussions.
Midwest embarked on another expansion in 2001, when it outgrew the previous building it had been in for nine years, moving to a new 16,500 square foot office in Harvest Hills area, in northwest Calgary.
Jed then forged a career in the National Hockey League when he joined the New York Rangers in 2003-04.
In 2010, Ron had the vision to create a company that provided prefabricated steel stud systems to the western Canadian market, which became Fastwalls.
Lancers hosted this rotating tournament in 2014.
Midwest Energy has 9,091 miles of electric line in service to 34,472 customers, at a price of 8 cents per kWh (13 cents in 2014, adjusted for inflation). The cooperative had 881 miles of gas pipeline in service, and 12,090 gas customers.
