Although 2022 was status quo for Frontier Power, we were active in many ways. We were happy to help three of our sister cooperatives when they were in need early in the year. For the first time, we had both our Customer Appreciation Day and Annual Meeting at our home facility. Both events were well-organized and attended fairly well, considering the change in venue.

We are very pleased that you, the members, participate in the Frontier Power Community Connection Fund. By rounding up your bill, donations of more than $18,000 were made in the community.

Completion of more than 27 miles of line rebuilt or replaced was a huge goal we are glad to have accomplished. We strive to maintain excellent customer service and plan to continue improving our service and reliability with technological advances.
