The Rural Electrification Act, enacted in 1936, aimed to provide electricity to rural areas in the United States, which were largely underserved at the time. It established the Rural Electrification Administration (REA), which funded the construction of electrical infrastructure through low-interest loans to cooperatives and municipalities. As a result, millions of rural households gained access to electricity, significantly improving their quality of life, supporting economic development, and enhancing agricultural productivity. The act played a crucial role in modernizing rural America and narrowing the urban-rural divide in access to electricity.
