An AMR meter can be read from the Cooperative's office. Your calculated bill will be mailed to you the first week of the month for the previous month's usage. Your payment is due in the office by 4:00 p.m. on the 21st of the month. A late penalty will be applied if a payment is received after the due date.

Penny Power Program

In this innovative program, your bill will be rounded up to the nearest dollar each month. The "small change" (an average of 50 cents per month) is then earmarked for community betterment groups and other local organizations. Every Member is automatically included in the program. Members may "opt out" at any time. For more information, click here.

Electrical Usage Information

Electric power is a valuable tool, which should be used efficiently and not wasted. You can depend on Cooperative personnel to solve your electrical problems.

Updating your electric system, preparing estimates and advising on the use of electric heating, air-conditioning and insulation are some of the ways your Cooperative can serve you.
