Pioneer is a Touchstone Energy® Cooperative!
We are part of a nationwide community of cooperatives working together to complement the local connection we have with our members. Even though you still know us as Pioneer Rural Electric Cooperative, this nationwide alliance assures that all members––large and small––continue to have the highest standards of personalized service at affordable rates. It gives us the power to provide every member with state-of-the-art technology, reliable, responsive service and excellent value. That is the power of human connections. In addition, Pioneer is actively involved in the communities it serves. We also support local charities and events that bring neighbors together.

Why do cooperatives need a unifying brand like
Touchstone Energy® ?
The Touchstone Energy brand represents outstanding service to all cooperative members. The promise of the brand means we must serve our members with integrity, innovation, accountability, and commitment to our communities. If we fail to do so, we cannot belong. Being a part of Touchstone Energy gives us the opportunity to stand out for being exceptional, and we want everyone to know it. We also want our members to know that we do not stand alone, but together with hundreds of other top notch cooperatives throughout the nation.

Does that mean one big company owns all the electric Co-ops?
Absolutely not! Being a Touchstone Energy cooperative allows us to maintain our local identity. However, having the Touchstone Energy name next to our cooperative’s logo means that Pioneer Electric Cooperative stands in unity with other cooperatives across the country.
