Safety is at the core of everything we do. ⚠️💪

As part of our ongoing commitment to safety and preparedness, CCEC lineworkers recently completed Pole Top Rescue Training — practicing the skills and procedures needed to respond quickly and safely in emergency situations.

⚡ Modern homes. Hidden energy costs.

Extra fridges, always-on TVs, and “set-it-and-forget-it” features like heated floors can quietly add up on your energy bill—even when you’re not thinking about them.

It’s not just how much energy you use, but what’s running in the background.

💡 Less than $1 a month. Real impact all year long.

Through Operation Round Up, Cass County Electric Cooperative members are helping members—supporting local needs in education, emergencies, and community programs across our service area.

In March alone, 17 organizations received over $64,000 in funding, continuing a long history of community support that has now surpassed $4.7 million in total contributions since 1993.

Featured this month: The Educators' Lab Joy Project, helping teachers reconnect with their purpose through hands-on professional development that strengthens both classrooms and student success.

Small change. Big community impact.

At CCEC, we believe strong communities start with investing in future generations. 🏫

This spring, more than 4,500 third and fourth-grade students from across North Dakota and Minnesota visited Bonanzaville - USA through hands-on educational field trips sponsored by Cass County Electric Cooperative.

These experiences give students the opportunity to explore local history, learn from dedicated volunteers, and create memories that many families in our communities still cherish today.

We’re proud to help support opportunities that connect students to the past while inspiring future generations. 💛
