Arkansas Electric Cooperative Corporation (AECC), based in Little Rock, is proud to provide power for about 490,000 members of Arkansas' 17 electric distribution cooperatives. Long considered one of the top generation and transmission cooperatives in the nation, AECC has assets of about $1.1 billion and annual energy sales of about $669 million. AECC provides power to its members - the 17 electric distribution cooperatives - through its diverse generation assets, which include three hydropower plants; three natural gas/oil-fired plants and two natural gas-fired-only plants. AECC also co-owns portions of three low-cost coal-fired plants. And when it is more economical to purchase power on the wholesale market than to run its plants, AECC's dispatchers do so to save its members money.
