COOPERATIVE PRINCIPLES
Voluntary and Open Membership
Cooperatives are voluntary organizations, open to all persons able to use their services and willing to accept the responsibilities of membership, without gender, social, racial, political or religious discrimination.
Democratic Member Control
Each member has one vote to elect the board of directors, which is accountable to the membership.
Members’ Economic Participation
All members have an economic stake in the business based on their purchases from the co-op. When it is financially prudent, the board of directors can authorize a return of those capital credits to members.
ur Mission: To provide our members with safe, reliable, affordable power at the lowest possible cost consistent with sound economy and good management. We also work with other local, state and national organizations to promote community and economic development.
Our business structure: We are a locally owned and operated not-for-profit corporation, owned by those we serve. The board of directors is elected from the membership and works closely with professional management staff.
