Creator: United Power Association, creator.
Title:United Power Association records.
Dates:1940-1992.
Language:Materials in English.
Abstract:Records of an Elk River, Minnesota-based rural electric cooperative that supplied wholesale electric power to twelve or more consumer-owned electric utilities located in central and northern Minnesota and portions of northwestern Wisconsin. Includes records of predecessor Rural Cooperative Power Association, and of the Northern Minnesota Power Association, which merged with United Power in 1972.
Quantity:275.0 cubic feet (280 boxes).
Location: See Detailed Description for shelf locations.

Expand/Collapse HISTORICAL NOTE

The first meeting of the incorporators and directors of United Power Association’s (UPA) predecessor, the Rural Cooperative Power Association (RCPA), was held on June 19, 1937. Financed by a Rural Electrification Administration loan, RCPA opened Minnesota’s first cooperative electrical generating plant at Maple Lake in 1940. In 1951 the association’s headquarters was moved from Maple Lake to Elk River. RCPA signed an agreement with the Atomic Energy Commission to build a nuclear reactor at Elk River on July 6, 1958. This nuclear power plant came online in 1963 and was the first nuclear power plant built for a cooperative in the United States. It was permanently shut down in 1968.

Northern Minnesota Power Association (NMPA) was incorporated in 1953. The Rural Cooperative Power Association and Northern Minnesota Power Association joined in 1963 to form United Power Association. United Power Association, RCPA, and NMPA formally merged under the name UPA in 1972.

In 1978 UPA completed construction of and energized a controversial 436-mile HVDC transmission line stretching across southern Minnesota. In 1979 the association began commercial operation of its Coal Creek Station, a lignite coal-fired power plant in central North Dakota developed jointly with Cooperative Power, Eden Prairie, Minnesota, that transmitted its power over the 436-mile HVDC line.

Great River Energy (GRE) was formed in 1999 in a merger of UPA and Cooperative Power. GRE was the second-largest electric utility in Minnesota, providing wholesale electric service to 29 electric distribution cooperatives in Minnesota and Wisconsin. GRE and its member cooperatives are not-for-profit companies owned by the consumers they serve.

Expand/CollapseSCOPE AND CONTENTS

Operating, engineering, and scientific records of the United Power Association (Elk River, Minn.) and its predecessor, the Rural Cooperative Power Association, largely documenting the history of the Elk River nuclear power plant. There are also some records of the Northern Minnesota Power Association, which merged with United Power around 1972. The collection is currently unprocessed. The following inventory is comprised of separate sequential container lists for the various accessions of records received by the Minnesota Historical Society from United Power Association since 1976.

The collection includes correspondence, contracts, reports, specifications, press releases, inspection logs, test results, brochures, testimony, operating reports, operations manuals, and other material related to its nuclear reactor at Elk River.

There is correspondence (1940-1969), primarily from the Rural Cooperative Power Association; financial records (1941-1972) of both RCPA and UPA; and correspondence and miscellaneous records (1965-1977) of United Power, Rural Cooperative Power, and Northern Minnesota Power Association. There are also copies of Atomic Energy Commission documents regarding hazards analysis (1962) and authorizing operation of the nuclear unit (1962-1965).

The container list for boxes 246-280 (accession 15,045) is a transcription of individual file lists compiled and provided by United Power Association. Some of the material is not actually present in the boxes. In other cases there is probably material in the boxes that does not appear on the list. Span dates seem to be approximate at best.
