Bluestem Electric Cooperative, Inc. is a nonprofit and member-owned electric cooperative. In 1999 two cooperatives, P R & W Electric Cooperative and C & W Electric Cooperative consolidated to form Bluestem Electric Cooperative. These cooperatives had been incorporated over 60 years ago by groups of rural citizens and Bluestem Electric exists today to provide its members with quality electric service at the lowest reasonable cost consistent with good business practices.
Over the years the cooperative has added valuable programs and services for its members so that they can fully enjoy the many benefits that rural living has to offer. Remember, we are here to help you take advantage of these services. Give us a call or stop by whenever you have a need or want additional information on these special programs.
Our Clay Center and Wamego offices are open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Our outage reporting service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week by calling one of our offices or your local Trouble Reporter.
