What this tracks
This dataset lists electric and telephone utility providers across Missouri cities and counties.
Why it matters to you
If you’re moving to a new home in Missouri, this tells you whether you’ll need to call a rural electric cooperative or a major provider to set up power. For small businesses, knowing whether AT&T or another provider serves an area could determine your internet speed options before signing a lease. When comparing properties in different counties, this data reveals whether you’ll face higher cooperative rates versus municipal electricity.

Where this leaves you
This dataset doesn’t let you look anything up by your address, but it’s still a window into how the state operates. Read it to understand the scope of the program and what the official records contain; the city or state’s own interactive map (linked on this page) shows the locations involved.
