Adams Columbia Electric Coop

With a name that harkens back to Christopher Columbus and the Founding Fathers, Adams-Columbia Electric Cooperative provides power to more than 36,000 member-owners in 12 counties in central Wisconsin. The rural distribution cooperative operates nearly 5,300 miles of transmission and distribution lines. Adams-Columbia Electric was formed through the merger of Adams-Marquette Electric Cooperative and Columbus Rural Electric Cooperative in 1987. The utility expanded further through its 1992 acquisition of Waushara Electric Cooperative. The cooperative covers a 2,500 sq. ml. geographic service area.
