Why is the REA considered a cooperative?
An REA is a jointly owned, not for profit enterprise that is democratically controlled by its members. That makes it a cooperative, and cooperatives are all about the members.
Every member is an owner. Every member has one vote. Members elect representatives from the membership to govern the REA.
Members enjoy the economic benefits of a not for profit. Surplus funds are re-invested to upgrade infrastructure and maintain reasonable rates.
The rural electrification association, as a power distribution cooperative, is identified on your power bill. If you are a member of an REA, get involved "get plugged in to your REA" and find out more.
