The cooperative advantage

Capital credits are one of the most unique and rewarding benefits you have as a member of an electric cooperative. One of the cooperative advantages is that we provide our members with “at cost” service, which means we do not exist to earn a profit. Investor-owned utilities, on the other hand, maximize their profits from their customers with the purpose of paying dividends to stockholders.

At a cooperative, there is no stock to be purchased or sold — our members own our business. Pioneer Electric Cooperative returns funds not used for operating costs to members in the form of capital credit allocations. Since 2015, we have returned approximately $7.3 million to members.

If you are the rightful heir for the capital credit recipient listed on the form below, please do the following:

  • Read the form carefully.
  • Complete the information required.
  • Upload a copy of your driver's license or legal ID.
  • Upload a copy of the deceased member's death certificate or obituary.
  • Sign the form.
  • Have a person who is not a relative also sign the form, witnessing your signature.

Once you sign the form, it is your responsibility to see, if necessary, that any other heirs or parties receive their portion of the check.

We must receive your form and approve it before the capital credit check will be mailed to you. Please note that any outstanding bad debts owed by the member to the Cooperative will be deducted from the check.

If you need assistance, please contact us at 1-800-239-3092.
