MWEC Achieves High Customer Satisfaction
with Impressive 89 ACSI® Score

Mountrail Williams Electric Cooperative (MWEC) completed its first member-wide customer satisfaction survey, where over 400 members were asked to participate. The member responses were sent to the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI®), a company that measures customer satisfaction across multiple industries throughout the entire United States.

Members were asked to rate their overall satisfaction with us, how well we lived up to their expectations, and how well we measured up to their ideal co-op experience. While these were not the only questions in the survey, we included these specifically because they are the core components of the proprietary ACSI methodology. 

For 2024, Mountrail-Williams Electric Cooperative received an ACSI score of “89”, on a 100-point scale. This score is higher than Co-op norms and higher than Touchstone Energy’s 2023 overall ACSI Score (85).

“Receiving positive feedback from our members is incredibly exciting,” said MWEC General Manager Alex Vournas. “Whether our employees are responding to an outage or answering questions our goal is to always remain member focused. These survey results highlight those efforts.”
