Our Transmission group loves to celebrate Non-Engineers Week every year. Grace Baker, Jill Rummel, and Aric Bandle were treated with balloons, flowers, streamers, candy, and lots of good-hearted attention. #CoopsPowerUs #gocoop
Basin Electric has been a leader in wind and renewables, taking direction from our members in 2005 to add wind to our diverse generation mix. #happyearthday
Please have a safe and happy Easter.
We have had a pair of friendly geese visiting us at Headquarters in Bismarck this week. Happy to provide a spot for a rest. #geeseofinstagram

Hello,
We here at No Starch Press just published “The Manga Guide to
Electricity” by Kazuhiro Fujitaki. A translation from the bestselling
series in Japan, this book uses authentic manga and real-world examples
to make learning electricity engaging, charming, and fun. We noticed
that you are interested in and write about electricity quite a bit.
Would you be interested in a review copy of “The Manga Guide to
Electricity”?
Thanks,
Travis

I am J,P. Rinker, and am a director of Midland Power Cooperative located in Jefferson, Iowa. I wore my Basin Electric hat ( courtesy of BEC director Charlie Gilbert }, to the recent ISU-KU football game in Ames, Iowa. I was approached by a woman who said ” whats up with the Basin hat? I haven`t
seen anything about Basin since I lived in Denver.”
She did`nt know that BEC supplied power to such a large area. I enjoy the Basin Update. Keep up the good work!
