Our History
Born Out of Necessity and Ingenuity
HomeWorks was founded in 1937 by farmers in Eaton, Ingham and Jackson counties to fulfill a need for electricity in rural areas left behind by the big-city utilities. Today, we’re proud to still be serving you and your neighbors in that same Cooperative Spirit. We’ve grown a lot over the past eight decades, but we’re still driven by the same guiding principle, to meet the needs and exceed the expectations of you, our members. It is our pleasure to serve you.
Continuing The Tradition
In 1999, our members voiced a need for quality propane service, and our subsidiary, Tri-County Propane, was born. Today, we’re following that same path again with the development of HomeWorks Connect. Through this project, we’re working to bring broadband access to all of our members across rural mid-Michigan at a time when it’s needed most.
Our Service Area
Through the years, we’ve expanded our service area into parts of 13 counties across rural mid-Michigan. For fair member representation, the service area is divided into seven districts. For a detailed breakdown of our service area by county, district and township, click here.
Our Mission
The mission of HomeWorks Tri-County Electric Cooperative is to provide our members and customers with energy, comfort, and communication solutions that will enhance their quality of life.
Our Vision
To provide resources to encourage growth of safe and enjoyable places to live, work, and play throughout the rural mid-Michigan communities we serve.
