Coop News from EnerStar

EnerStar searching for former members 1985 -1986

As a not-for-profit rural electric cooperative, EnerStar is owned by the members who receive electricity from our cooperative. At the end of the year, after all the revenues have been collected and all the expenses are paid, the remaining margins (profits) are allocated to members who received electric service during the year. These are called capital credits. They represent member equity in our cooperative. 

EnerStar Annual Meeting Postponed, Board Elections Proceed as Scheduled

Our co-op is committed to the welfare and safety of our valued membership, our dedicated employees, and the communities we serve. In that spirit of community, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, following the CDC recommendation and the recent Illinois school closings, the Annual Meeting scheduled for March 28, 2020 has been postponed.

Completed voting ballots can be returned one of three ways. The cooperative highly encourages members to mail their ballots. These should be received by March 26. However, there are two options for hand-delivering ballots. Ballots can be placed in EnerStar’s night deposit box by Friday, March 27, 2020 or brought to the Crestwood School on Saturday, March 28, 2020, where the cooperative will have temporary facilities in the parking lot between 7:30 am to 9:30 am. Election results will be announced shortly after.

You can count on our employees to serve our members’ needs and restore power outages promptly. Payments can be made over the phone, through our website at or mobile SmartHub app, left in the night deposit box, or at MoneyGram locations using the billing code 15228. The co-op will reimburse any Money Gram processing fee of $1.50 per transaction. With your needs, call us at 800-635-4145 or email at power@enerstar.com.

When you make energy-efficiency upgrades, you save energy, save money, and help keep the planet squeaky clean. By our count, that makes for a win-win-win-win situation. Not too shabby, right? We will take it one step further. Sometimes those upgrades qualify for rebates and incentives from EnerStar.
