Each month, North Central Electric communicates with its members through the Ohio Cooperative Living (formerly Country Living) magazine. The magazine is Ohio's largest circulated monthly rural magazine. The master section of the magazine is produced by our statewide organization, Ohio Rural Electric Cooperatives, while the center pages are devoted exclusively to North Central Electric news and information. The center pages act as the cooperative's official newsletter and are a great source of news concerning North Central Electric.
