Co-op to return $409,000 in patronage

Being an electric cooperative member comes with benefits — $409,000 worth!

Nishnabotna Valley REC’s board of directors has approved distributing $409,000 in patronage capital to current and former members of the cooperative.

Current members who purchased electricity from NVREC in 2005, 2007, or 2025 will receive their patronage retirement as a bill credit in December, unless they’re owed $500 or more, in which case they will receive a check by mail in late November.

Former members — those who no longer receive service from the co-op — will also receive a check if the amount owed to them is $20 or more and we have a current mailing address.

Contact information can be updated by calling (712) 755-2166.
