Arkansas Valley Electric Cooperative Corporation is a non-profit rural electric utility cooperative headquartered in Ozark, Arkansas, with district offices in Waldron, Arkansas, and Pocola, Oklahoma.

The Cooperative was organized in 1937 and the first 57 miles of power lines were energized in December 1938 to 114 meters.

The Cooperative serves portions of thirteen counties in the states of Arkansas and Oklahoma, in a territory generally surrounding the Arkansas River valley in west-central Arkansas.

Currently (as of September 2005) the Cooperative has more than 7,300 miles of distribution lines, 38 substations and services over 43,900 meters.
