Capital Electric has provided professional electrical contracting services since its founding in 1957. Capital operated as a privately held corporation until its purchase in January, 2001.

Becoming a member of the MDU Resources Group, Inc. family of companies, with revenues in excess of $2 billion per year, has allowed Capital to be more competitive, to expand customer services, and to guarantee long-term support to clients. Capital Electric still communicates with clients one-on-one with the same familiar management team. At Capital Electric we view the major goal in electrical construction to be the effective integration of the owner's needs, quality installation and service, least possible cost, safety, and timely project scheduling. This corporate philosophy is beneficial to the owner, architect, and the construction team.
