It Pays To Be a Member

As a member of Citizens Electric, you are also an owner. 

Rates are designed to recover the costs of purchasing and delivering power, maintaining the Corporation's transmission and distribution systems, operating expenses, and maintaining a level of margin that will enable the Corporation to finance its operations and construct new electric facilities.

As a not-for-profit corporation, Citizens Electric returns margins to members in the form of capital credits.  At the discretion of the Board of Directors, capital credits are refunded to members whenever they determine that returning capital credits will not jeopardize the Corporation's financial stability.
