specified area not being serviced by another utility. Such ventures
are generally exempt from federal income tax laws. Most electric
cooperatives have been initially financed by the Rural Utilities Service
(prior Rural Electrification Administration), U.S. Department of
Agriculture.

statewide organizations whose scope is larger than county level.

government agencies whose primary function is the production and sale of
