What are Capital Credits?
Capital credits reflect each member’s ownership in the cooperative. You, as a member, are an owner of CCEC, and the allocated margins, or capital credits, are just one of the many advantages of membership. Unlike investor-owned utilities, CCEC provides electric service to our members at cost and any profits from providing electric service are paid back to the members and not paid to out of the area shareholders. Members invest in CCEC when they buy power. Each year, after all expenses have been paid, any remaining margins from providing electric service are allocated to members as capital credits in proportion to their electric use
Allocation Process
Update Your Contact Information
It is critical that all members, including former CCEC members, update their mailing addresses on file with CCEC. This ensures current and former members receive their capital credit retirement checks when those checks are issued.
