Cooperative Business Model

From the outside, many co-ops look like any other business, since a co-op provides products and services like conventional businesses do. But it's what goes on behind the scene that makes cooperatives different. They operate under seven guiding principles.

 Member-ownership means:

  • You elect fellow members to the Board of Directors who make the policies that control the operation of the cooperative.

  • We create and enforce strong internal control policies to safeguard cooperative assets.

  • We maintain accurate accounting records and respond promptly to financial requirements.

  • Any amount of the cooperative’s monthly bills that are in excess of the actual operating costs are credited to each member based on the member's total energy use during the year. (See Capital Credits)

CCEC is not-for-profit and is owned and controlled by you, the members; there are no outside investors.
