Capital Credits
The difference between a member-owned cooperative such as Dakota Electric and an investor owned utility is that the same people who purchase electricity from Dakota Electric also own the cooperative. As owners, all members share in Dakota Electric’s profits.
Current capital credit payments
- Dakota Electric has retired capital credits from 1976 through 1981.
- Each time the board of directors retires capital credits you earned while purchasing electricity from Dakota Electric, you will receive payment.
Unclaimed capital credits
If you were a member between 1976 and 1981 and did not receive a capital credits check, review the unclaimed capital credits list and submit the unclaimed capital credits payment request. Receiving capital credit checks that do not belong to you

- Write “Not at this address – Return to Sender” on the front of the envelope.
- Place the envelope back in the mail.
