Eau Claire Energy Cooperative works with three other cooperatives to meet our regulatory compliance requirements and safety goals. This working relationship has been in place since 1996. The cooperatives are:
- Riverland Energy Cooperative - Arcadia, Wisconsin
- Jackson Electric Cooperative - Black River Falls, Wisconsin
- Oakdale Electric Cooperative - Oakdale, Wisconsin
Working together, we have been able to meet our corporate responsibilities while keeping our cost at a reasonable level and achieving economies of scale. Lessons learned at one cooperative are shared with the others.
The compliance program addresses many specific issues including the following:
- NRECA Rural Electric Safety Accreditation Program
- Occupational Health and Safety Administration regulations
- U.S. Department of Transportation requirements
- Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources regulations
- US Environmental Protection Agency regulations
- Fire safety rules; local and national
- Workplace safety
- Safety for members and the public
