$2.2 MILLION IN PATRONAGE CASH BACK RETURNED

Your electric bill payment every month is your investment in the cooperative business. At the end of the year, if the co-op has money left after paying all of the expenses, the board of directors can approve some of that money to be returned to the member-owners. This return on your investment (known as patronage "cash back") is proof of the stability of your cooperative!

$81,835 IN ENERGY EFFICIENCY REBATES DISTRIBUTED

Midwest Electric's not-for-profit business model allows us to encourage our member-owners to use LESS of the services we provide (not more, like typical companies). By choosing to purchase ENERGY STAR appliances and make smart decisions for your homes and businesses, you were able to take advantage of our many rebate programs, ranging from insulation and air sealing to refrigerators, AC units, geothermal systems, electric vehicle chargers, and more.

130 MINUTES = AVERAGE LENGTH OF TIME WITHOUT POWER

Midwest Electric knows that reliability of your electric service is important to you, so we invested more than $6 million in 2022 in capital improvements and projects to our system. Replacing old infrastructure and installing new, higher-tech equipment means your lights stay on!

73% OF MEMBERS PAY ONLINE OR VIA AUTOPAY

That's more than 7,200 people! Through our annual member surveys, we learned that o ering multiple ways to pay your bill was important to members, so we've expanded our options over the past few years. But we didn't stop there! We added additional features to your SmartHub app, like two-way outage reporting and texting, as well as voting in board of directors elections.
