50-Year History Book |
"Generation for Generations" is the title of the Basin Electric Power Cooperative 50-year history book, written by North Dakota author Stan Stelter. A half century ago in Bismarck, ND, Missouri River basin farmers and ranchers set in motion a story that encompasses the themes of self-governance and ownership of electric resources. The 224-page book covers the inception of the organization in 1961 through the first half of 2011 and draws resources from publications, photographs and video assembled and produced by Basin Electric communications employees.
Basin Electric's success these past 50 years is founded in the cooperative memberships' strength in unity: unity built on a common purpose; unity built on trust and honesty; unity built on sharing risk, so no co-op has to go it alone.
"...the Basin Electric group overcame all of the problems and obstacles .... it has become - and I don't think people in this region quite realize it - one of the great people success stories of this nation. ... There is no other cooperative that I know of, certainly not in the power business, that has done what the Basin Electric group has done."
