Your cooperative had its start as an electric cooperative, one of many established by rural pioneers all cross the country in the 1930s and early 1940s. Organized as a nonprofit corporation in 1939, Jo-Carroll Energy's first 20 miles of electric lines were energized on May 3, 1940, bringing service to 60 members.

We service approximately 26,500 electric and natural gas accounts in Jo Daviess, Carroll, Whiteside and Henry counties. Our dedicated staff of more than 75 employees oversees more than 2,432 miles of electric line and 304 miles of natural gas pipe as well as a number of programs and services.Today, cooperatives like Jo-Carroll Energy are still the primary providers of electricity in rural Illinois areas. Located in the diverse rural area of northwestern Illinois, we serve small businesses and industries, farms, residences and second homes, cabins and recreational homes. The cooperative also provides natural gas service in parts of Carroll and Whiteside counties.Our Sand Prairie high-performance Internet service connects our members to the world.
