Is my electric company really that different?
As a cooperative member, you pay Dakota Electric for the actual cost of producing and delivering energy. Funds remaining after bills have been paid and infrastructure built, go into members' capital credits accounts. When our board of directors deems it prudent based on financial considerations, the capital credits are paid out to you. Because you own the company, Dakota Electric employees do what is in your best interest by providing you the best value possible, this means offering energy-saving programs and rebates, providing energy tips, educating members on ways to use energy more efficiently, being active in our communities and doing our part to protect the environment. That is the cooperative way of doing business. |
Who owns your electricity provider? If you're a member of Dakota Electric Association, you can find the answer by looking in the mirror. At Dakota Electric, you, the members, are the owners, and just like any other company, Dakota Electric does what is best for our owners.
