Roughrider Electric Cooperative is a nonprofit business. Instead of earning profits, our annual operating margins are allocated to our members receiving service during the year. These margins--revenue in excess of expenses--are based on patronage or total amount paid in. We call them capital credits.

Capital credits are retained as capital to operate the business of the cooperative and are refunded to the members as financial conditions allow and as the bylaw provisions are met.

If you move from the Roughrider service area, please keep us informed of your address in future years. This will allow us to forward payment when the capital credits are refunded for the years of your membership.

If you need more information on capital credits please read our Fall Quarter 2018 Newsletter Newsletter or Contact us with any questions.

Things to remember:

  • Your capital credit allocation statement is not a bill.

  • These amounts are not immediately payable and do not represent cash, but rather your equity in Roughrider Electric Cooperative, Inc.

  • These amounts cannot be applied to your electric bill.

Have you heard of the Cooperative Difference?

Two aspects of a cooperative make us different from other types of utilities.

Roughrider Electric Cooperative members are owners in the cooperative. We exist because of you. We were formed to bring safe and reliable electricity to our members--it's our mission and purpose. And our members elect fellow members to represent them on the board of directors, maintaining democratic control of the cooperative.

We are local. 

When you need to talk to someone simply call or stop in and visit with a Roughrider employee right here in your community.
