Part of what sets us apart from the larger Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs) is that Electric Membership Cooperatives (EMCs) are not for profit. This means that any revenue that is collected after covering our operation costs is returned to our members in the form of Capital Credits based on each member's energy usage for a given year. Southern Rivers Energy refunds capital credits on a 15 year rotation which means in 2009, refunds were sent out for the year 1994.

Southern Rivers Energy refunded approximately $562,000 in patronage capital or "capital credits" in 2007. To date the cooperative has refunded more than $9.5 million to its members. For questions regarding capital credits please contact the head of our patronage capital department, Marcia Edwards at 770-358-1383 ext. 304 or toll free, 877-358-1383.

The lists below are unclaimed patronage capital checks that were mailed out to members in 2004 but returned to Southern Rivers Energy due to insufficient addresses or other reasons. You may search by name and/or address (listed by city) but the last day to claim one of these checks is August 27, 2010.
