Fiber broadband is redefining how we think about energy.

East Central Energy is proud to announce that construction for ECE Fiber started on May 8, 2023.

In early March 2024, East Central Energy was awarded three broadband grants that total $12.2 million.

East Central Energy is proud to celebrate the first 100 members to be connected to ECE Fiber internet.

Throughout the last year ECE Fiber has grown immensely, and this progress wouldn’t be possible without the help of our contractors.

The cooperative connected the first internet member on December 14, 2023, and nearly 280 members were connected at the time of the ceremony.

“This is a historic moment for ECE and the communities we serve,” shared VP/CIO Ty Houglum. “It speaks to the incredible efforts of our employees and the forward-thinking approach of our board of directors.”
