Parent Organization Background The Fox Islands Electric Co-operative is based at Fox Islands. The organization was established in the region in the year 1974 after the previous company was sold to it. After over a year since the Fox Islands Electric Cooperative had been introduced, it got a loan from the Rural Electrification Administration. The funds enabled the company to grow in the community by establishing a submarine electrical cable that covered a distance of 10 miles.
