Two electric cooperatives in southeast South Dakota are mulling a merger.

The boards of Clay-Union Electric in Vermillion and Southeastern Electric in Marion are studying the idea.

Clay-Union Manager Paul Roberts says if the boards endorse a merger it would go to a vote of members in both co-ops, probably in late 2009.

Clay-Union has about 3,100 customers. Southeastern has about 13,000.
