Guatemala Project

This is what the power of cooperative commitment can accomplish! We're so proud of NWREC's lineman Mike Berkenpas and the other Iowa electric cooperative linemen who were able to work in Guatemala. A team of 12 electric co-op linemen from Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin worked for 16 days in October to bring electricity to a rural village of 300 people. This project was coordinated in conjunction with NRECA International.
