Happy 85th Birthday Flathead Electric Cooperative
Courtesy of Flat Head Electric Cooperative, Inc.
On September 20, 1937, the Flathead Power Company was formed. In 1938, the first 82 miles of line were energized, and 117 farm homes in the Kalispell area glowed with electricity for the first time.
Today, we’ve grown to serve over 56,000 members and now maintain 5,000 miles of line. Looking back at the past 85 years, our name may have changed, but our commitment to our community and providing reliable power to our members has never faltered. Here’s to another 85 years.
