What is Buckeye Power?
The 25 electric distribution cooperatives serving members in Ohio (24 of the cooperatives are based in the state and get their electricity from Buckeye Power, Inc. (BPI); another, Midwest Energy Cooperative, based in Cassopolis, MI, serves about 1,000 members in sections of Fulton and Williams counties in northwestern Ohio.

BPI owns two of the three coal-fired generating units in the Cardinal Station, located about seven miles south of Steubenville at Brilliant, Ohio. Buckeye Power, Inc. is a generation and transmission cooperative established by Ohio's rural electric co-ops to produce and transmit electric power for the member systems throughout the state.

In addition to providing a source of competitively priced and reliable electric power to its member-cooperatives, Buckeye Power also provides other services. A comprehensive consumer attitudes research program helps to better understand how the cooperatives are viewed and how the members of the cooperative think about issues such as service satisfaction. It also provides information on the types of products and services which interest co-op members.
