Capital Credits
The non-profit, cooperative concept of supplying electricity to members at cost is a unique benefit not offered by other types of energy suppliers.
Capital credits are margins in excess of the cost of providing reliable electric power that are returned to members based on the member's annual patronage for the scheduled year.
Unlike investor-owned utilities where dividends are paid to
national and international investors, capital credit returns go to
those who received electric service, providing an economic boost to
the local economy.
These benefits spread out all over the Pee Dee, multiplying at
least four times as member-owners and their families patronize
local merchants, restaurants, entertainment entities, businesses,
and banks…
In addition, the capital credits that Pee Dee Electric returns to
commercial and industrial member-owners help these companies invest
in growth and jobs for the people of the Pee Dee.
Capital credit returns reflect the efficient operation of the
cooperative's management and employees. With this efficiency of
operation, Pee Dee Electric Cooperative continues to experience an
excellent financial status.

Insulation Quick Tip Attics can be great sources of heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. Payback will vary depending on your region, but you'll usually recover the cost within two years.  |
HVAC Quick Tip Your heating and cooling system equipment runs best when properly maintained. Change your filters on a regular basis. Having your HVAC system serviced on an annual basis will ensure that your system is not costing you more than it should as well as increase the life of the system. |
Thermostat Quick Tip The average home will spend over $1,000 a year on heating and cooling. Programmable thermostats adjust the temperature in winter and in summer as well as during unoccupied hours. At a cost of $50 - $150 the payback can be seen in well under a year. |
Unplug Quick Tip Check around the house to see if devices are unnecessarily plugged in. Cell phones, MP3 player chargers and appliances are still drawing power when not in use. Be aware that plasma TVs and entertainment systems are drawing power even when they are off. |
