As a member of Tri-County Electric Cooperative (TCEC) you are an owner of the organization — with a vested interest in the cooperative. This means when the cooperative has margins, those margins are allocated to the members based on their purchases. The cooperative uses this allocated margin as equity for a time and then returns it to members as a patronage capital retirement at a future date. The TCEC Board of Trustees approved a capital credits retirement of $1,019,374.38 in 2022.
Those members who are eligible for a check will receive one in mid-September. For more information about patronage capital, please email Member Service or call us during regular business hours at 580-652-2418 or (800) 522-3315. Remember to keep your address current with the cooperative for future retirements.
