Crow Wing Power

Crow Wing Power is an electric cooperative serving 48,542 members in Cass, Crow Wing and Morrison Counties. We value our hardworking employees and embrace their dedication to serving cooperative members.

OUR Mission

Crow Wing Power serves members with safe, reliable power and a responsive team that takes pride in every connection.

Who we are

Crow Wing Power’s core business is delivering and maintaining safe, reliable electricity at the lowest possible cost. Cooperative members are the owners of the organization and any profits over and above operating margins are returned to members in the form of  Capital credits. 

Our main office is located in Brainerd, MN and we have service outposts for linemen in Pierz and Swanburg east of Pine River. 

Crow Wing Power (officially named Crow Wing Cooperative Power and Light Company) was formed on January 28, 1937, thanks to the Rural Electrification Administration (REA) by Franklin D. Roosevelt. On March 24, 1938, power to the first 140 Crow Wing Power members was turned on for the first time.

Since that time, Crow Wing Power has delivered reliable electricity to cooperative members’ homes, cabins, farms and businesses throughout Cass, Crow Wing, and Morrison Counties surrounding the beautiful Brainerd Lakes Area in central Minnesota.   

As a cooperative, Crow Wing Power is owned by its members and governed by an elected board of directors. Members receive friendly service from local employees who care about them and the communities we live in, and members receive a share of the revenue over and above the cost of doing business in the form of capital credit refunds. That's because Crow Wing Power is accountable to our members, not stakeholders. With the cooperative philosophy, rates cover the cost of doing business and are not marked up to generate profit. We're also proud to be part of a group of over 730 electric Touchstone Energy . cooperatives throughout the nation.

Crow Wing Power is proud to offer quality products and service, while helping members manage their bills with energy efficiency programs.

We are eager to help find solutions that balance environmental concerns while keeping the lights on and electric bills affordable. Since our beginning in 1937, it remains our commitment to improve life in local communities.
