As a member-owner of Mid-Ohio Energy Cooperative you have distinct advantages over customers of other types of utilities.  You receive electric service at cost, and any margin the cooperative makes is allocated back to you as capital credits.  We use those funds as working capital, in order to provide a reliable supply of cost-effective electric power.  Those credits are then retired - or paid back - to you as it is financially feasible to do so. 
 
In 2008, Mid-Ohio Energy Cooperative, Inc. returned $393,000 in patronage capital to members.  We ask you to consider reinvesting a portion of your patronage capital payment back into the future of your cooperative.  We want you to join over 33,000 other electric cooperative members, employees and trustees nationwide who have signed on to our political action group, Co-op Owners for Political Action® (COPA). 
 
Our business model assures the focus is on delivering reliable, competitively priced electricity to those we serve, and not on making a return for shareholders.  We need to do all we can to preserve that cooperative model for the future in a business environment that doesn’t always appreciate our uniqueness.  Being a part of the political process is key to our strength and success.  You can strengthen our political presence by becoming a member of Co-op Owners for Political Action®.
 
COPA is our best tool to get and maintain the attention of decision makers in Ohio and across the country, and to ensure the cooperative business model thrives.   Just $25 a year (only $2.08 per month) makes you part of this voice for electric cooperatives.  See the fact sheet (hyperlink), or call one of our offices for more information. 
 
An ACRE sign-up form can be found on this site.  If you wish to participate in ACRE, simply print and fill out the form and sent it to our offices.  We can conveniently add your COPA contribution to your monthly electric bill.  Thank you.
