HOW CAPITAL CREDITS WORK
from Member Guidebook
by ButlerRural
The money to cover our operating expenses comes from members paying their bills.
At the end of the year, we subtract our operating expenses from the money collected. The money left is called margins.
Each year, margins are deposited into your capital credits account based on the amount you paid for electric service.
Our board of trustees evaluates the co-op's financial stability to determine if we can retire capital credits.
When we retire capital credits, we withdraw margins from your capital credits account and send them to you as a check or credit on your bill.
