Marias River Electric Cooperative, Inc. (MRE) is a rural electric cooperative, organized for the purpose of providing electrical distribution service to its members in and around the Toole County area.  Any person, corporation, or business may receive electrical service by applying for membership and complying with the membership by-laws.  MRE is a non-profit utility and all receipts over and above the cost of providing service are assigned back to the members in accordance to their patronage.  This assignment to the members is allocated as capital credits and when the financial condition of the cooperative will allow, the cooperative returns the capital credits to the members in the form of a capital credit check.  The last retirement of capital was returned to the members for service received in 1997.
