Why is the REA considered a cooperative?

The REA is a jointly owned, not for profit enterprise that is democratically controlled by it's members. Every member/owner has one vote to elect representatives to operate the REA. Members enjoy the economic benefits of a not for profit. Surplus funds are reinvested to upgrade and maintain infrastructure and keep reasonable rates. 

​

How does and REA cooperative differ from a investor owned utility?

How do I know how much power my appliance/device uses?

Here is an example to figure out power consumption:

Electric Heater that is rated 2000 watts, used 8hrs a day

2000 watts x 8 hrs/day = 16,000 watts

16,000 watts/1000 = 16 kilowatts

16kilowatts x 0.08/kw = $1.28/day

$1.28/day x 30 days = $38.40/month

(calculation is for power only + service charges)
