The Rural Electrification Act of 1936, enacted on May 20, 1936, provided federal loans for the installation of electrical distribution systems to serve isolated rural areas of the United States. The funding was channeled through cooperative electric power companies, hundreds of which still exist today. These member-owned cooperatives purchased power on a wholesale basis and distributed it using their own network of transmission and distribution lines. The Rural Electrification Act was one of many New Deal proposals by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to remedy high unemployment during the Great Depression.

  • Закон об электрификации сельских районов (англ. Rural Electrification Act of 1936) — федеральный закон США, принятый 20 мая 1936 года в рамках политики «Нового курса»; закон создал Администрацию электрификации сельских районов (англ. Rural Electrification Administration, REA/РЭА), которая начала предоставлять федеральные займы для возведения электрических распределительных систем в изолированных сельских районах страны. Финансирование осуществлялось через кооперативные компании, большинство из которых продолжает существовать и в XXI веке: члены кооператива приобретали электроэнергию оптом и распределяли ее, используя собственную сеть линий электропередач.
