Unlike investor-owned utilities that generate profits on behalf of shareholders, nonprofit electric cooperatives return any profits earned to their members in the form of capital credits. Each year the board evaluates the financial condition of your cooperative to determine whether a refund is warranted.

​

These funds provided by our members are an important source of financing. They help pay for equipment and system maintenance and upgrades to provide you with safe, reliable and quality service you expect. By using these funds, we can avoid borrowing from other lenders.

 

Over the past 12 years, Inland has returned $16 million in capital credits to our members while maintaining some of the lowest rates in the country, as well as high service levels. Being a good financial steward of our members’ money is a top priority for the cooperative.
