On Friday, Jan. 17, East Central Energy proudly celebrated a major milestone: the one-year anniversary of connecting members to ECE Fiber.

The event brought together a mix of attendees, including ECE directors, vendors, contractors, local government representatives, state officials, and many more who have supported the endeavor.

During the event, President/CEO Justin Jahnz said a few words regarding the achievement.

A lot has happened in a year…

Over the past year, ECE has seen significant growth in all areas of the project, with the most visible progress being member connections. In January 2024, the cooperative had 12 members connected to ECE Fiber. Since then, around 4,000 additional connections have been made, with more being added every day. The co-op is committed to providing reliable internet and a positive broadband experience while keeping service affordable for members.
