Bringing You Power

Kansas Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. (KEPCo), headquartered at Topeka, Kansas, was incorporated in 1975 as a not-for-profit generation and transmission (G&T) cooperative. It is KEPCo's responsibility to procure an adequate and reliable power supply for its 19 distribution rural electric cooperative Members at a reasonable cost.

Through their combined resources, KEPCo Members support a wide range of other services such as rural economic development, marketing and diversification opportunities, power requirement and engineering studies, and rate design, among others.

KEPCo is governed by a Board of Trustees representing each of its 19 Members which collectively serve more than 110,000 electric meters in the eastern two-thirds of rural Kansas (see map). The KEPCo Board of Trustees meets regularly to establish policies and act on issues that often include recommendations from working committees of the Board and KEPCo staff.

KEPCo's current roster of officers is:

President: Kenneth Maginley, Bluestem
Vice President: Kirk Thompson, CMS
Secretary: Gordon Coulter, Ninnescah
Treasurer: Bryan Coover, Twin Valley

The Board also elects a seven-person Executive Committee which includes the President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and three additional Executive Committee members.

KEPCo is under the jurisdiction of the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) and was granted a limited certificate of convenience and authority in 1980 to act as a G&T public utility.

Currently, KEPCo employs 23 staff with expertise in engineering, power supply and transmission, SCADA operations, rate design and accounting. Currently there are no job openings at KEPCo. To view job openings at rural electric cooperatives in Kansas and other states, please see the listings at the National Rural Electric Cooperatives Association's website.

KEPCo is a Touchstone Energy Cooperative. Touchstone Energy is a nationwide alliance of more than 600 cooperatives committed to promoting the core strengths of electric cooperatives--integrity, accountability, innovation, personal service and a legacy of community commitment. The national program is anchored by the motto "The Power of Human Connections."
