Years of service 1988 to 1990 

Unlike investor-owned utlities who provide electric service for a profit, EnerStar Electric Coopera.ve is a member-owned, member-controlled electric distribution cooperative. After the revenues are collected and all the expenses paid, we return our margins (our version of profits) back to the member-owners. 

When you sign up to receive electric service from EnerStar, you become a member of our electric utility, a part-owner who invests equitably in the co.op. The amount allocated back to each member is based on how much electricity they used in that year and is paid back to the member later in the form of a capital credit retirement. 

Capital credits are not refunded, or “retired,” immediately. Because the electric utility business requires large amounts of capital to operate, electric cooperatives reinvest capital credits into their business operations toward improving and expanding our electric system and meeting our other capital needs. During this time, EnerStar car.fully keeps track of the amount owed to each individual member to ensure all members can receive the correct amount in their capital credit refund when the time comes to retire them. If you ever move out of our service territory, it is very important that you provide EnerStar with a forwarding or current address to ensure you receive your capital credit money. 

EnerStar has outstanding capital credits for current and former members who received service during the years 1988 to 1990.
