HISTORY
Moon Lake Electric was organized
in 1938 as a rural electric cooperative by residents
of Northeastern Utah who were unable to obtain electric
service from a private power company.
S.K. Daniels, an early pioneer of Moon Lake Electric,
wrote a letter to the Rural Electrification Administration
in Washington, inquiring about possible loan
funds to enable residents to begin construction of
lines and equipment. Soon a non-profit corporation
was formed and funds were approved, allowing residents
to get started with building their own power system.
At the present time, Moon Lake employs 85 full-time
employees and furnishes power to over 17,000 member
accounts in Northeastern Utah and Western Colorado.
Moon Lake's headquarters office is located in Roosevelt,
Utah, with district offices in Altamont and Duchesne,
Utah. Rangely, Colorado is the home of our Colorado
District office. |
