Each year, the board and management examine our financial stability, including what we need for things like wholesale power, poles, wire, and equipment. We want to meet certain financial goals before returning capital credits.
Fluctuating fuel prices, system growth, government compliance, financial institution compliance, inflation, interest rates, and weather events can affect margins. When these extenuating circumstances occur, capital credit payments may be delayed. Capital credits are not lost, when the conditions change the board can allocate capital credits in future years.
