PCEA is happy to provide a free EV charging station as a service to our community.

We have a few reminders about using the charger:

⚡ The charger is free and open to the public. You do not need to be a member of our cooperative to use it.

🚗 Use is first come, first served.

⏱️ There is no time limit on using the charger. It is available 24/7.

🤝 Please be courteous and move your vehicle when charging is complete so others have an opportunity to use it.

🏢 Our office is closed on weekends, and PCEA does not monitor use of the charger outside of business hours.

🪧 We will be adding signage to help communicate these expectations.

One additional reminder: Please do not tamper, vandalize or otherwise damage vehicles using the charging station. Do not unplug another vehicle, block a vehicle in, or attempt to have a vehicle removed from PCEA property. If the charger is occupied, please check back later.

We’re happy to provide this free service and appreciate everyone’s courtesy in helping keep it available for our community.

🌿 Vegetation Control Underway 🌿

You may notice crews working throughout portions of our service territory over the next couple of weeks.

Midwest Spray Team will be completing Pella Cooperative Electric’s annual vegetation control program in the Killduff, Sully, Lynnville, Reasnor, Galesburg, and Searsboro areas.

Regular vegetation management helps keep trees, brush and other growth away from power lines and equipment, reducing potential outages, improving system reliability and helping our crews safely access electric facilities when needed. ⚡🌳

If you see Midwest Spray Team crews in your area, they are working on our behalf as part of our ongoing system maintenance.

Thank you for your cooperation as we work to keep your power safe and reliable!

It’s been a busy month at the Coop, and we’re excited to welcome two new faces to our team! 👋⚡

Please join us in welcoming Erica Pepe, Staff Accountant, and Colton Metcalf, Apprentice Lineman, to the Cooperative!

Erica will support PCEA’s accounting and financial operations, helping keep things running smoothly behind the scenes. Originally from Newton, Erica is a 2023 graduate of Central College. We're excited to have her bring her experience and talents to the Cooperative.

Colton joins our line crew as an apprentice lineman, where he'll gain hands-on experience while continuing to build his skills in the trade. A 2025 graduate of Pleasantville High School, Colton recently graduated from Northwest Iowa Community College's powerline program. He may also be a familiar name to some of our members as he was a 2025 Pella Cooperative Electric scholarship recipient!

We’re excited to have Erica and Colton on board and look forward to the skills and energy they’ll bring as we continue serving our members.

Welcome to the Cooperative, Erica and Colton! 💙⚡

⚾️ A special THANK YOU to the Central College Dutch Baseball Team! ⚾️

We’re sending a big shoutout to the Central College Dutch Baseball Team for helping with traffic control during our Member Appreciation Day!

After an early morning practice, (hence the sleepy photo) these guys still showed up ready to lend a hand, helping direct traffic and keep everything moving safely and smoothly as we welcomed our members through the event.

We know giving up part of a Saturday especially after an early start is no small thing, and we truly appreciate their willingness to serve our co-op and community. 💙

Thank you, Dutch Baseball, for being such a great group to work with and for helping make Member Appreciation Day a success! ⚾️👏
