Business Overview

Scenic Rivers Energy Cooperative is a member-owned business. All persons receiving electric service from us are members of the cooperative. The members elect nine directors who in turn hire a CEO who hires personnel to operate the day to day business functions. Annual meetings are held in late March or early April and three members are elected to the board each year. While the directors are responsible for guiding the cooperative by setting policies, the employees of Scenic Rivers ensure that you have safe and reliable electric service.

As a cooperative, there are certain guiding principles that Scenic Rivers follows. The seven cooperative principles are:

• Voluntary and open membership
• Democratic member control
• Members' economic participation
• Autonomy and independence
• Education, training, and information
• Cooperation among cooperatives
• Concern for the community
