TVEC To Return $4.3 Million in Capital Credits
Trinity Valley Electric Co-op is a member-owned co-op, so any operating margin is allocated to each member based on the amount of electricity purchased each year. It is a fair way to show each member’s investment, and the co-op uses that capital for funding growth and important projects to improve service and reliability.
As the co-op’s financial condition allows, your elected board members refund these capital credits to members. For 2025, the TVEC Board of Directors has approved the return of just over $4.3 million in capital credits.
This amount will include all remaining credits from 1996. Members who joined after 1996 will not see a refund this year.
Current members will receive refunds as credits on the electric bills mailed from the co-op in December. Former members will receive a check at the address we have on file.
While credit amounts will vary greatly depending on how long you have been a member and how much electricity you have purchased, the return of capital credits is an important part of the financial stewardship of the co-op.
If you have any questions regarding capital credits, please contact TVEC at 972-932-2214 or email memberrelations@tvec.coop.
At the end of each year, if TVEC has received more revenue than was necessary to cover expenses, the difference is allocated back to members as capital credits based on each member’s share of electricity purchased.
When the co-op’s financial condition permits, the board of directors may decide to retire, or pay back, some of the capital credits. This year, all outstanding capital credits from 1996 will be retired.
Capital credits are returned to current and former members. For current members, this year’s disbursement will be applied as a credit on bills mailed in December. Former members will receive a check.
