for Marias River Electric or Shelby Gas
Marias River Electric
Cooperative, Inc. (MRE) is a rural electric cooperative, organized for
the purpose of providing electrical distribution service to its members in and
around the Toole County area. Any person, corporation, or business may
receive electrical service by applying for membership and complying with the
membership by-laws. MRE is a non-profit utility and all receipts over and
above the cost of providing service are assigned back to the members in
accordance to their patronage. This assignment to the members is allocated
as capital credits and when the financial condition of the cooperative will allow,
the cooperative returns the capital credits to the members in the form of a
capital credit check. The last retirement of capital was returned to the
members for service received in 1996.
Shelby Gas Association
(SGA) is also a cooperative, which serves the town of Shelby with natural
gas. SGA is operated by MRE through a management contract between the two
cooperatives. SGA is also a non-profit cooperative and operates on the
same principle as other cooperatives and assigns all receipts over and above the
cost of service back to the members at the end of each year.
