Most information published by Clay County Electric Cooperative Corporation refers to members. What persons or organizations are being referred to and what are the benefits and obligations of “membership”?

Each person or entity receiving electric service from Clay County Electric Cooperative Corporation (CCECC) is a member of Clay County Electric Cooperative Corp. This cooperative is a not-for-profit organization formed to provide services at cost to its members. Members of Clay County Electric pay competitive rates for electric service that generates a margin for the cooperative. These margins are retained and invested in plant and equipment necessary to provide service to members. When prudent financial considerations allow, previously retained margins are refunded to members by way of a capital credit retirement check. Rights and obligations of members arise from a contractual relationship detailed in CCECC Bylaws.
