CO-OP BENEFITS

An electric cooperative is a business much like any other business but in several important ways it’s unique. A cooperative business belongs to the people who have organized it in order to provide themselves with goods and services they need. In addition to electric cooperatives, consumers have formed credit unions, food cooperatives, housing co-ops and health care cooperatives.

There are numerous benefits to being a member-owner of St. Croix Electric Cooperative, including:
As an owner, you share in the success of the cooperative by receiving Capital Credits based on the business you’ve done (electric energy purchased) within the cooperative.

Member-owners enjoy competitive energy rates. In addition, St. Croix Electric strives to provide products and services at the lowest possible prices, utilizing the buying power of the cooperative membership to offer discounts to members.

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 supplemental electric in-floor cable heating to members adding a new addition to their existing home and investigating electric thermal storage heaters, St. Croix Electric Cooperative has a program for you. As a member-owner, one of the greatest resources available to you is the accessibility of local professionals at your cooperative who will provide personal, reliable products and services to you at an affordable price.
