CMS Electric Cooperative, Inc., was founded in April 1945 and energized its first lines in June 1948. Originally, CMS took its name from three counties it was chartered to serve: Clark, Meade and Seward. However, soon Comanche county was added to the service territory. The service territory covers approximately 4800 square miles with approximately 2500 miles of line. Today, the cooperative serves approximately 5800 meters, consisting of residential, small commercial, irrigation, large power and industrial loads. As with any cooperative, we are member owned, which makes us continually working to keep our rates competitive while still maintaining excellent service. Our main office is located in Meade, Kansas at 509 E. Carthage St, which is across the street from the Meade District Hospital on Highway 54. Our satellite office is located in Coldwater, Kansas at 603 N. Central. A professional staff is available to assist you with your services at both locations.
