Karian / Peterson Power Line Contracting LLC was formed in August of 2000 when a group of electric cooperatives in southwestern, northern, central & western Minnesota organized themselves to diversify in their business activities. One of the first purchases this group of cooperatives made was Karian Line Construction. Shortly thereafter, the group also purchased Peterson Power Line Contracting. Making use of the economies of scale provided by the electric cooperatives and the merger of the two line construction companies, Karian / Peterson Power Line Contracting was born.
With more than 50 years of combined experience Karian / Petersen specializes in transmission & distribution lines, substations and underground facilities. Our contractors have traveled extensively throughout the upper Midwest constructing new lines and substations for municipal utilities, electric cooperatives, and investor-owned utilities.
We are dedicated to customer satisfaction. This commitment is evidenced by our efforts to improve workplace safety, training, and quality. The electric industry is experiencing dramatic changes. Karian / Peterson continues to expand its facilities on land west of Montevideo and implements positive growth strategies to best serve our customers today and into the future.
