Bayfield Electric Cooperative was formed by a group of rural pioneers who saw the need for electric service to our rural area and decided to do something about it. We presently serve Ashland, Bayfield, Douglas, Iron, Sawyer and Vilas counties in Wisconsin and Gogebic in Michigan.

The system was energized on January 25, 1945. We have approximately 8,700 members served by nearly 1,900 miles of distribution line. Your Cooperative employs 23 people and has assets of 26.0 million.
