About

Founded in 1938, Fall River Rural Electric Cooperative is a cooperative headquartered in Ashton, United States specializing in Hydro.

Fall River Rural Electric Cooperative is a member-owned, not-for-profit electric cooperative serving over 15,000 owner-members and more than 20,000 meters in Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. It generates part of its supply from five Cooperative-owned hydroelectric facilities on the Henrys Fork and Teton rivers, and buys most of the remainder from the Bonneville Power Administration, which sells hydropower from federal dams. The Cooperative also offers net metering for member-owned renewable systems, energy efficiency and conservation programs, and a propane subsidiary, Fall River Propane. Margins above the cost of service are returned to members as patronage capital.
