The Energy Cooperative is a not-for-profit energy enterprise owned by the consumers we serve. The family of companies that comprise The Energy Cooperative are: Licking Rural Electrification, Inc. (LRE), National Gas and Oil Cooperative (National), Producers Gas Sales, NGO Development, NGO Transmission and NGO Propane. The Energy Cooperative family serves over 50,000 members in thirteen counties throughout central Ohio. The Energy Cooperative is guided by the seven cooperative principles, one of which is “Commitment to Community”. This commitment to our community is why we proudly support The Midland Theatre. As a cooperative we are locally owned and operated – with many of our employees being members too. The Energy Cooperative employs over 165 people in Newark, Hebron and Utica that also demonstrate their commitment to community by volunteering many hours of service in local charitable organizations. We care about our members, and are dedicated to serving their energy needs.
