Electric cooperatives are built differently. MVEC is not owned by outside investors. It’s owned by you, our member-owners.
We are guided by seven cooperative principles: Voluntary & Open Membership, Democratic Member Control, Members’ Economic Participation, Autonomy & Independence, Education, Training, & Information, Cooperation Among Cooperatives, and Concern for Community.
Here are a few ways those principles create value for you:
Managing Energy Costs: Through Energy Wise® load management programs, residential or key account rebates, and practical energy efficiency tools, MVEC connects member-owners with options designed to lower energy use and keep monthly bills manageable. Explore current rebates and energy-saving programs at mvec.net/savings/.
One Member, One Vote: As a member-owner, you have a voice, a vote, and a direct stake in MVEC’s success.
Keeping You Informed: From grid reliability to long-term affordability, energy policies continue to evolve. Through our Energy Forum, Annual Meeting, newsletters, and other communications, MVEC provides the information member-owners need to stay informed and engaged.
Investing Locally: Through Operation Round Up®, student scholarships, sponsoring a Youth Tour representative to learn about the cooperative business model in Washington, D.C., and local school safety demonstrations, MVEC continually invests in future leaders, local safety, and non-profit projects that make our neighborhoods stronger.
