It covers approximately 3,885 energized miles and serves more than 7 counties including: Butte, Corson, Harding, Meade, Perkins, and Ziebach in South Dakota and part of Carter County in Montana.

The Upper Grand River Electric Association was organized July 12, 1946, in Bison, South Dakota. Prior to this organization, virtually no rural utility services existed in this area. On January 9, 1950 the organization coverted to Grand Electric Cooperative, Inc. A nine-man Board of Directors was established to govern the cooperative.
Grand Electric suffered from several severe storms in the past decade.
March 18, 2003: Several inches of rain, followed by a drop in temperature created thick ice on the lines in the Buffalo area. 246 poles were lost and crews from Butte Electric, Moreau-Grand Electric, Black Hills Electric, West River Electric, Cam-Wal Electric, FEM Electric, Brink Construction and Boldt Construction were called in to assist.
