Watch Your Mailbox!

UEC's Board of Directors voted to return $6 million in Capital Credits this month.


Checks will be mailed in mid-December to members who purchased electricity in 2009, 2014 and 2015. As a not-for-profit, member-owned company, UEC operates at cost, with net revenues (called margins) returned to members in the form of Capital Credits.


Refunds 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.
