About us
Great Lakes Energy goes beyond the expected to empower our members' lives. Built and led by the communities we serve, we have a mind for innovation and a heart for service. We are a trusted partner, connecting our members to the resources they depend on. We strive to go beyond expectations to connect our members to a greater world. As the third-largest Michigan-based electric utility and the largest member-owned power company in Michigan, we have succeeded because we’re a well-run business that is committed to providing energy solutions to more than 126,000 member-consumers in 26 counties in western and northern Michigan, from Kalamazoo to the Mackinac Straits. Since 1937 our success has been built around the mutual trust we share with our member-consumers. That’s because our members are also the owners of our electric cooperative. Great Lakes Energy is governed by a Board of Directors that is elected by our member-owners. We were formed more than 80 years ago for the sole purpose of providing service and value to our member-owners. Today, we continue looking out for you, with eight office locations and more than 290 employees to serve the needs of our members. As a member-owned cooperative, Great Lakes Energy allocates and eventually returns profits to our members in the form of capital credit refunds. We have refunded capital credits every year since 2003, totaling over $87.5 million. We will continue to do so as financial conditions allow.

Today, our GLE Board of Directors had their monthly meeting in Sault Ste. Marie and had a blast learning about renewable energy at the Cloverland Electric Cooperative’s Hydro Plant. This historic plant, built in 1902, is a whopping 1/4 mile long, houses 74 turbines, generates 36 megawatts of electricity, and operates 24/7. Big thanks to Cloverland Electric Cooperative‘s CEO Mike Heise and team for showing us around! #RenewableEnergy #hydropower #GLE #cloverlandelectriccooperative #micoopcommunity #CooperationAmongCooperatives #SaultSteMarie #Michigan

CEO Shaun Lamp and other co-op staff members also attended the tour of the 432 MW natural gas fired power plant.

At GLE, we’re committed to a core principle that drives our success: Education and training. We believe that growth never stops—especially for our Board of Directors, who just wrapped up an insightful presentation on our hotline demo program. The program highlights the danger powerlines can bring and fiber splicing for our growing internet service. #CooperativeStrength #EducationMatters #TeamDevelopment #CollectiveSuccess
