ABOUT THE COOPERATIVE: The Cooperativa Eléctrica de Chera is an electric power marketer that was founded in 1928 as a response to the demand that existed to advance and modernize our municipality located in the Requena-Utiel region, belonging to the province of Valencia.

Due to the geographical situation of our town, located in a mountainous area and in those years very little accessible, the interest of the electric power distribution companies was not focused on areas where the investment that had to be made was too high for the benefits they would get. It was decided by the neighbors to group together to form a society that could create and manage the necessary infrastructure to supply electricity to our population.
