Electric co-ops are owned by the people they serve, not by
their interests and set policy and procedures for the co-op.
NOT

invest any excess revenue back into the electric system.
IMPROVE COMMUNITIES
Keeping the lights on. Recruiting new industry. Educating the leaders of tomorrow. Electric co-ops take seriously their responsibility to improve lives in their communities.
