350 projectCloverland Electric Completes Acquisition of
Edison Sault Electric



DAFTER, Mich. (May 4, 2010) - Cloverland Electric Cooperative today completed its acquisition of Edison Sault Electric Company from Wisconsin Energy Corporation (NYSE: WEC). As a result, all customers of Edison Sault Electric are now member-owners of Cloverland Electric, and all employees of Edison Sault are employees of Cloverland Electric.

"After nearly a year of hard work, planning and community outreach, we are delighted to bring our teams together and welcome thousands of new members to the cooperative," said Cloverland Electric Executive Vice President and General Manager Dan Dasho.

As with any acquisition of this size, it will take Cloverland Electric a period of time to fully integrate the operations of the two companies. Though all former Edison Sault customers will be member-owners of Cloverland Electric, the cooperative will maintain separate rates, computer systems and billing procedures until the integration is complete. Software, member service and dispatching will be among the first items to merge - most likely in fall 2010.  Click here for the full story.
