Basin Electric's 2026 Annual Meeting of the Membership will be held Aug. 11 and 12 in Bismarck, North Dakota. As part of the meeting, a closed-door Members-Only Meeting will be held the morning of Aug. 13.
The theme for this year's meeting is Connected by Power and Purpose.
Basin Electric was founded with a clear purpose more than 65 years ago: to power rural America through cooperation, shared responsibility, and a long-term commitment to the people we serve.
As a member-owned cooperative, we know reliable and affordable electricity isn’t just a service: it’s the foundation that keeps homes warm, businesses running, and communities thriving.
Connected by Power and Purpose reflects more than the electricity we deliver; it represents the people behind the power collaborating across generations, communities, and geographies. Every line built, every facility maintained, and every decision made is rooted in the collective effort of members and employees working together.
This year’s theme highlights the pride, belonging, and connection that define who we are as a cooperative. It reminds us of what matters most: serving people, strengthening rural America, and ensuring reliable and affordable energy for future generations.
