Since 1942, the Pennsylvania Rural Electric Association (PREA) has served as the unified voice for electric cooperatives in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. These member-owned utilities provide power and other services within their respective service territories. PREA is a non-profit, service organization based in Harrisburg, Pa.

Today, 14 electric distribution cooperatives in Pennsylvania and New Jersey supply electricity to more than 200,000 rural households, businesses and industries, representing more than 600,000 consumers. The 13 co-ops in Pennsylvania own and maintain about 12.5 percent of the electric distribution lines in the state, covering nearly one-third of the Commonwealth's land area in 41 counties. These lines, an essential component of rural business and industry, represent one of the Commonwealth's largest non-governmental investments in rural infrastructure. (more detail)

The organization is led by a senior management team.
