Oregon Trail Electric Cooperative is a utilities provider based in Baker City, Oregon, operating as a regional cooperative. The organization emphasizes economic development and community support, offering relocation guidance, business assistance, local incentives, and development contacts to help families and businesses pursue growth. In 2026 the cooperative launched the WILD Program, reflecting an expanded focus on community-oriented services. It pursued expansion of its service territory through asset-related moves, including a non-binding agreement to transition PacifiCorp's Wallowa County service area and the planned transfer of PacifiCorp's Enterprise service center, alongside a wholesale energy arrangement with Idaho Power to serve new member-owners. Historically, the cooperative has invested in technology-enabled economic development, such as projects with Golden Shovel Agency to develop virtual reality tours promoting Eastern Oregon's attractiveness to business, residents, and visitors.
