  • Cavalier Rural Electric Cooperative Inc. is located in Langdon, ND and was founded on September 17, 1945.  It wasn’t until September 23, 1948, that the first section of power line south of the Clyde substation was energized and electric service brought to the first 85 farms.  From that time on, the growth of the system progressed rapidly.  Currently, we provide electrical service to over 1,600 members in the rural areas of Cavalier County and the northern one-third of Ramsey County.  The area is 31 miles north and south along the east boundary, and 43 miles north and south along the west boundary. The total service area is about 2,200 square miles. When organized back in 1945-46, it was expected that the system would require approximately $4,150,000 in loan funds.  As of 12/31/2019, the system is capitalized at $20,544,000 with a net value of $12,505,000
