The seven cooperative principles
We do things differently at the co-op because we are focused on seven core principles.
Capital Credits
As a not-for-profit cooperative, when we collect more money than we spend, we return these funds to members through a capital credit. This year, we are returning credits for members who purchased electricity in 1991.
