distribution
cooperatives
Electric distribution cooperatives are private, not-for-profit corporations owned by their consumer-members. They are similar in concept to other consumer-owned businesses; including agricultural, marketing co-ops and news-gathering and reporting co-ops like the
Associated Press.
OUR MEMBERS. Each consumer of an electric cooperative is a member-owner and has the right to:
Have a vote in the affairs of the cooperative.
Elect directors to serve on a board of trustees.
Receive an allocated "margin" in the form of capital credits when economically feasible.
