How Dependable Electricity Reaches You. How Electricity could reach you after restructuring.
Electric cooperatives are significantly different in ownership structure and purpose.
These businesses sell electricity to their consumer-owners at the cost of providing the service. They operate in the same communities where their consumer-owners live and work. Electric cooperatives are known nationwide for their reliability and long-term ties to their communities. Cooperatives have long proven to be a viable and even preferred business alternative in which consumers have the ability to provide electricity and other services for themselves. The electric cooperatives' perspective on the federal restructuring debate stems from their unique characteristics of consumer ownership and local control.
