Operation Round Up

All members will be enrolled in Operation Round Up as membership is established. Participation in Operation Round Up is voluntary and a member may opt-out of the community trust program at any time. If you choose to pay the itemized Operation Round Up amount, your electric bill is "rounded-up" to the next even dollar each month. Your extra pennies (one cent to 99 cents) will help support education, health, youth, home weatherization, emergency service and community services in your local area each month. Contributions go to the Cuivre River Electric Community Trust and are tax-deductible. 

 

Learn more about Operation Round Up

A security deposit (ranging from $200-$400 and $500 for small commercial) may be required for service, based on the member's credit risk. (please see our FAQs for more information on deposits)

Electric Meter Equipment and Bases

Your CREC meter connects energized power lines to your home. If the meter requires service or disconnection for any reason, trained employees are available to assist. 

For new construction or locations that have never had electric service, the member is responsible for supplying and installing the meter base for both single and three phrase services up to 320 amps. The cooperative will provide meter bases and metering transformers for both single and three-phase services rated 600 amps or greater. A list of Milbank meter bases that have been approved by the cooperative and are stocked at local electric supply stores is available below. The cooperative reserves the right to reject the use of any meter base not pre-approved by the cooperative.
