Apply today to represent EnerStar in D.C.

For more than 50 years, the electric cooperatives of Illinois have given tomorrow’s leaders the opportunity to learn from today’s public officials, and EnerStar is on the hunt for two outstanding students to represent our co-op at Youth Tour this year.

People who love older homes usually get drawn in by their grandeur. They see a Victorian home in the historic district and fall in love with its stately staircase and intricate architectural features.

One of the top priorities on their “To Do” list should be to get the electrical system inspected by a qualified electrician.
