Central Electric Cooperative pays taxes on the total kWhs (kilowatt hours) sold annually to members. In 2019, these taxes amounted to over $1 million, and that tax revenue is paid on behalf of the schools based on where the kwhs were sold.
Our wholesale power suppliers, East River Electric Power Cooperative and Basin Electric Power Cooperative, also pay tax on the amont of kWhs purchased by Central Electric Cooperative. The tax paid for school districts grows as members use more electric power and more members receive service. This is just one way in which the electric cooperative benefits its local communities.
The amounts listed below include the contributions from Central Electric Cooperative, East River Electric Power Cooperative and Basin Electric Power Cooperative.
