Maquoketa Valley Electric Cooperative is an Iowa electric cooperative. Like many rural electric cooperatives in the United States, it operates on a member-owned model in which the customers it serves hold an ownership interest in the organization.

Over time, MVEC has expanded its offerings beyond electricity distribution to include MVlink Fiber Internet, reflecting a broader trend among rural cooperatives to deliver broadband alongside power.
