$6 Million Returned to UEC Members through Capital Credits

Members who purchased power in 2019 and 2021 will receive a refund check in the mail as part of UEC's Capital Credits program.

Refunds are based on the amount of electricity purchased during the specified years. Amounts of less than $10 will not be mailed, but rather retained in the member’s Capital Credits account until it surpasses that amount in a future distribution.
