Get to Know Your Co-op

We are glad you are joining us! Glades Electric Cooperative is a not-for-profit electric distribution cooperative serving over 18,000 accounts in Glades, Hendry, Highlands, and Okeechobee counties. We are headquartered in Moore Haven with a satellite office in Lake Placid.

Our co-op was created by community members to serve their unserved neighbors in Florida’s Heartland. Even
today, we provide power to some of the most rural areas of Florida, averaging seven meters per mile of service line.
Our not-for-profit cooperative model makes it possible to deliver service to areas investor-owned utilities are
unable to serve.

As a member of Glades Electric Cooperative, you will be one of our Neighbors Powering Neighbors. Our co-op
members have important roles within our organization. Members elect members to lead on our Board of Trustees,
members represent members in board leadership, and members provide equity to power our co-op and provide
electricity to each other.

Check out our Member Guide for helpful information about your cooperative, convenient services, and special programs. If you need additional assistance, please call us at (863) 946-6200 or email us at memberservices@gladeselectric.com.
