What is an electric cooperative?

An electric cooperative is a member-owned electric utility. This differs from publicly owned utilities in many ways. The member-owner of a cooperative has a voice in the leadership through voting rights and is able to attend the annual meeting. Member-owners are also given a share of any profits or margins generated by the electric cooperative otherwise called Capital Credits.
