Holmes-Wayne Electric Cooperative's service territory is divided into nine districts. Each district is represented by one board member, who is elected from the membership at large. Board members must live in the district they represent.

This form of self-governance is one more thing that sets electric Cooperatives apart from other kinds of utilities. Unlike stockholder-owned companies, the elected trustees have no financial interest in the Co-op. Their interest in overseeing the Cooperative's activities is that the Co-op remain a viable, financially sound entity that continues to serve the members in the best possible manner, at the best possible price.

Below is a list of the current trustees, and a description of the geographical district they represent.

Service Area

Holmes-Wayne Electric Cooperative's service territory is divided into nine districts. Our service area consists mainly of Holmes and Wayne counties in Ohio.However, we have members in six additional bordering counties, including: Ashland, Medina, Tuscarawas, Stark, Knox and Coshocton. At present, we have approximately 18,000 accounts in our territory.

If you are trying to determine whether HWEC serves a specific location within these areas, please contact us and we will consult our detailed territory maps to determine if we serve that specific location.

It is important to note that, even though portions of Ohio's electric utility industry are deregulated, deregulation did not effect the certified local territories of any electric utility company in Ohio. The local distribution company that served a particular area prior to deregulation still serves that area. HWEC cannot serve a customer whose property is not a part of our certified local service territory.
