Days of Toil. Power tools were unheard of in the early days of Choctaw Electric Cooperative. Instead, crews cleared the right of way wielding machetes, cross cut saws, and slingblades. This year marks the 75th anniversary for Choctaw Electric Cooperative. Through toil, and sometimes trouble, the members and employees of Choctaw Electric continue to bring growth and progress to southeast Oklahoma. Join us as we celebrate our achievement.
