Dixie Escalante Rural Electric Association was formed when three separate
rural electric cooperatives, Escalante Valley Rural Electric Association,
Littlefield Rural Electric Association and Dixie Rural Electric Association,
merged into one strong entity. Leon Bowler, who had been serving as General
Manager of both Escalante Valley REA, and Dixie REA assumed the reins of General
Manager of Dixie Escalante Rural Electric Association in 1978 after the merger.
Under Bowler’s leadership, membership in the cooperative has grown to 14,000.
After 55 years of service, Leon Bowler retired. In April 2008, LaDel Laub became
and currently is General Manger.
The combined service territory of the three merged REAs includes Newcastle,
Beryl, Modena, Pine Valley, Bloomington, Bloomington Hills, Washington Fields,
Dixie Springs, and Littlefield, Ariz.
