Member Information
Welcome to People's Cooperative Services—your member-owned energy and service provider.
Are you familiar with an electric cooperative? Maybe this is your first exposure to a cooperative form of business and you may want more information on electric cooperatives.
If you're an existing member...
Congratulations, you're a successful owner of your local energy and service company, People's Cooperative Services.
If you are a new member you may not be aware of the benefits of belonging to an electric cooperative, or if you've been a member for years, maybe you've missed or forgotten the advantages of being a cooperative member.
As a member of a cooperative, you are also an owner of your company. You have a voice in the operation of your organization through the elected representatives to the cooperative board of directors. These representatives are your neighbors, and are also directly affected by the decisions that are made to carry out the business of the cooperative.
As an owner, you will also share in the success of the cooperative through dividends or capital credits. Yes, you receive a dividend based on the business that you've done (electric energy purchased) with the cooperative.
Another benefit that you receive from your electric cooperative is competitive energy costs. The rates and service fees set by your cooperative are cost based, providing you the lowest prices to deliver that service or product. The cooperative also utilizes the buying power of the cooperative membership to provide other product discounts to the membership. Electric water heaters, electric grills, electric heaters, and more are examples of buying quality electric products in volume to reduce the cost to the cooperative membership. If you haven't taken advantage of these membership advantages, it's time you did.
As a member, you're also a salesperson for your cooperative. So, when you use electricity for heating, cooling, lighting, and all your other needs, you help the cooperative you own.
You won't find a cleaner, safer or more reliable way to heat and cool your home than with electricity from your member-owned electric cooperative. Today's electric heating and cooling technologies are designed to provide comfortable, clean, and efficient heating and cooling at a price you can afford.
Your electric cooperative has several programs designed to help you reduce your energy costs by utilizing off-peak electricity. From members building a new home, and considering a ground source heat pump, to members adding a new addition to their existing home and investigating baseboard heating units—People's Cooperative Services has a program for each of you.
In addition to providing you assistance for selecting your new heating and cooling system, your electric cooperative also has rebates to help you reduce your cost of installing your new high efficiency electric system.
One of the greatest assets that you have available as a cooperative member is the accessibility to local professionals at your cooperative. Personal service, from someone you can trust—that's your electric cooperative.
In addition to your local energy professionals, your cooperative is also part of a larger cooperative organization that provides additional resources from the cooperative family.
Now you know the benefits of being a cooperative member. When building or adding a new addition to your existing home, the energy professionals at People's Cooperative Services are here to help you with your electrical needs.
