Part of what sets electric membership cooperatives or EMCs apart from the larger investor-owned utilities (IOUs) is that EMCs are not-for-profit. This means that any revenue that is collected after covering our operating 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 typically refunds capital credits in December.
To date, the cooperative has refunded more than $18.2 million to its members. For questions regarding capital credits, please contact Customer Service at 770-358-1383 or toll-free at 877-358-1383.
