Celebrating our roots

For National Co-op Month, we are taking the opportunity to look back at the history that shaped KV REMC. Back in 1939, a few forward-thinking local leaders saw electricitys potential in transforming our community. Their hard work and determination brought electricity to farms and families that might never have had it otherwise. These pictures of equipment once used by linemen, images of the early days, and even stories captured in past publications remind us how far we have come. While a lot has changed over the years, one thing hasnt: our commitment to serving our membership and the community.
