About UsWho We AreMcDonough Power Cooperative, headquartered in Macomb, Illinois, is a consumer-owned corporation that supplies electric power to members in portions of Fulton, Hancock, Henderson, Knox, McDonough, Schuyler and Warren counties in West-Central Illinois. More than 5,000 households and businesses receive power from McDonough Power. We are a distribution utility-we don't generate our own electricity. We purchase our power from Prairie Power, Inc., which is headquartered in Jacksonville, Illinois. Prairie Power is a generating and transmission cooperative which is owned and controlled by rural electrics in the central part of Illinois that receive electricity from that organization. McDonough Power is wholly owned by the people it serves and is governed by a board of directors elected by members in each of the nine voting districts. Approximately 17 employees work for McDonough Power to serve its residential, commercial and industrial accounts. |
