Our Commitment to the Cooperative Principles
As a member-owned electric cooperative, our operations and decisions are guided by the 7 Cooperative Principles. These principles aren’t just statements—they are reflected in how we serve our members every day:
- Voluntary and Open Membership – We provide electric service to all eligible members within our service area without discrimination.
- Democratic Member Control – Members elect our board of directors and have a voice in the direction of the cooperative.
- Members’ Economic Participation – Margins are returned to members through capital credits, and rates are set with affordability in mind.
- Autonomy and Independence – We operate independently, guided by the needs and interests of our members.
- Education, Training, and Information – We provide resources and programs to keep members, employees, and directors informed and prepared.
- Cooperation Among Cooperatives – We work with other electric cooperatives and industry partners to strengthen service and reliability.
- Concern for Community – We support local initiatives and invest in the communities we serve.
