THE COOPERATIVE DIFFERENCE

Advantages and Benefits

You may not realize being a member of a cooperative has its benefits and advantages.  A cooperative is owned by the members it serves. They are governed by a board of directors that are members themselves, and elected by the members, to serve as trustees of the cooperative.  Locally owned and operated, cooperatives offer easy accessibility to members.  It is the responsibility and sole intent of the company to serve the best interest of its members in the most efficient and effective manner. Cooperatives share the common values of Innovation, Accountability, Integrity, and Commitment to Community.

Cooperatives are not-for profit businesses and exist solely to serve members. Our rates cover the cost of doing business and are not marked up to generate a profit. Mohave’s goal is to provide reliable electric service with the highest level of customer service.

The cooperative difference is about understanding our responsibility to our members.

Capital Credits

As a Mohave Electric member, you have a share in the earnings of your not-for-profit electric cooperative. 
The co-op’s electric rates are set to bring in enough money to pay operating costs, make payments on any loans for improvements and growth, and provide an emergency reserve.

Any amount remaining is called margins. Members are eligible to receive part of the margins called “capital credits” and are distributed according to the bylaws.

Commitment to Community

Co-ops and their employees support local causes through charitable contributions, volunteerism, and other activities that make a positive difference. At Mohave Electric, our community commitment is an integral part of where we work, what we do, and why we do it. Our mission is to support education, health care, economic development and other areas that contribute to quality of life in our community.

For more than six decades, Mohave Electric has been providing our members with the highest possible service at the lowest possible cost consistent with sound business principles. Our members are our highest priority and we are working hard to make a difference for you.
