It takes a village to electrify a village, and that was the mission of an electric cooperative line crew. On Sept. 30, 12 linemen – including four from Iowa – embarked on a mission to bring electricity to a region of north-central Guatemala. Approximately 1 out of 5 Guatemalans do not have power.

The holiday season offers wonderful moments for building memories, but when it comes to decorating, it’s also the perfect time to think about safety. Iowa’s electric cooperatives join our local firefighters, the NFPA and the CPSC in urging you to consider safety as you decorate and enjoy the holiday season with family and friends.  

Recently, IAEC worked with Central Iowa Power Cooperative’s (CIPCO) Creston transmission line crew to practice rubber glove training on power equipment.
