Proudly serving our members with safe and reliable electric, natural gas and internet for 80 years.
About Us
Jo-Carroll Energy is a cooperative, founded and built by the members we serve to deliver reliable energy and broadband internet services. Your co-op was founded in 1939 by a group of farmers from Jo Daviess and Carroll counties who needed electricity brought to their farms. These founding members benefitted hundreds and now thousands and paved the way to expansion and progress in our smaller towns and villages.
Today, Jo-Carroll Energy provides a combination of electricity, natural gas and internet to over 26,500 members in Jo Daviess, Carroll, Whiteside and Henry counties. As our membership grows, we strive to deliver safe and reliable electric, natural gas and internet to our members while exceeding member satisfaction and providing excellent member service.

Community Focused
Giving back to our communities and being involved in the towns we serve is something that is very important to us. We believe this to be part of our culture. You will likely see us at a chamber meeting, at your local school giving an educational demonstration, supporting community events and giving safety demonstrations at local organizations. Just like you, we call this area our home and we feel it is a vital part of our cooperative principles to give back to our communities.
