"Arizona's electric cooperatives formed Grand Canyon State Electric Cooperative Association Inc. in 1950. Their primary purpose was to create a nonprofit, nonpartisan group to give Arizona's electric cooperatives a unified voice in state and national regulatory and legislative matters. Resource-pooling and cost-sharing by our members have combined to help make GCSECA a strong, efficient statewide organization. In addition to legislative programs, GCSECA offers safety and loss control training; regulatory assistance; an annual education program; special project workshops; and a variety of communications tools to inform electric cooperative officials electric cooperative consumers throughout Arizona."
