Rea Energy Services

As a member of REA Electric Cooperative Inc., you are also an owner. When you make a payment to REA Electric Cooperative Inc., a portion of that payment goes directly towards your investment in our electrical system. Unlike investor-owned utilities that generate profits on behalf of shareholders, not-for-profit electric cooperatives return any profits, or margins, to their members in the form of capital credits.

Think you can make a difference at REA Energy? Each year we hold mail-in elections for 2-3 board of directors based on revolving four year terms. You must reside in the board district in which you would like to run for election. For a complete list of requirements to run for the REA board of directors refer to Section 2. (a) of Article III of our By-laws.

Co-ops were developed to fill a need not addressed by other kinds of businesses, such as single owner, partnership, and investor-owned. One of every four Americans is a member of a cooperative. Even if you're not a co-op member, you still depend on cooperative businesses for essential products and services.

Touchstone Energy Cooperatives is a national network of electric cooperatives that provides resources and leverages partnerships to help member cooperatives and their employees better engage and serve their members. By working together, Touchstone Energy cooperatives stand as a source of power and information to their 32 million member-owners every day.
