Valley REC

Valley Rural Electric Cooperative is a not-for-profit cooperative owned by the members it serves.

What does that mean?

It means you are an owner. And your vote and participation at district nominating meetings and the Annual Meeting determine the directors and policies of the cooperative. You could run for director, too.

It means your utility is offering electric service at the lowest possible cost. Cooperatives like Valley REC are not-for-profit. Any revenue left over after expenses are paid is allocated to the members as capital credits and returned as financial conditions permit. (Please see Capital Credits.)

It means you have a real voice in the operation of your electric utility. Use that voice and be a part of the democratic process.

Call the Member Services Department for information on how to get involved.
