Together these co-ops serve over 45,000 customers in Utah and
surrounding states. Unlike investor-owned utilities, whose rates include
profits for outside shareholders, co-ops are owned by those
they serve. Co-op customers, also termed members, are the owners of the
co-op. As a result, power is provided at low cost, and the margins above cost are
returned to the individual members. Each member is also given
an equal voice in company affairs, so decisions reflect the desires of
consumers, not investors.
