The Rural Electrification Act of 1935 provided federal loans for the installation of electrical distribution systems to serve rural areas of the United States.
The funding was channeled through cooperative electric power companies, most of which still exist today. These member-owned cooperatives purchased power on a wholesale basis and distributed it using their own network of transmission and distribution lines. The Rural Electrification Act was also an attempt made by FDR's New Deal to deal with the crippling amount of unemployment.
Harrison Rural Electrification Association, Inc. (HREA) has been serving the citizens of Harrison, Doddridge, Marion, Taylor, Barbour, Upshur and Lewis Counties since 1937. In the beginning, HREA brought electric service to rural citizens who could not or would not be served by the for-profit electric utilities. Today, HREA continues to serve these areas and as the urban areas continue to grow into the rural areas, we find ourselves in the position to serve developments requiring both residential and commercial load capacity. This growth opportunity hasn’t been seen by the cooperative since the days our initial members went door to door to sign citizens up for electric. The Board, management, and employees welcome this growth and strive to continue to provide the highest quality service available.
Members have the right to attend the annual meeting and vote for member candidates to serve on the board of directors. The board sets policies for the cooperative and appoints the president/chief executive officer who oversees the management and staff. Our goal is to provide you high quality energy service at a reasonable price and to serve your needs. As a member, you will receive monthly news updates and much more in the Country Living Magazine delivered by US Mail as well as copies of these articles on this website.
On this website, you will find links that provide information about the cooperative, how to contact us, rates, other services, and future plans that the cooperative has to ensure our membership continues to receive the highest quality of service for the lowest price we can achieve.

At the time the Rural Electrification Act was passed, electricity was commonplace in cities but largely unavailable in farms, ranches, and other rural places.

Rankin and Senator George William Norris. The act was signed into law by Roosevelt.
