What does it mean to be a member-owner?

Being a member-owner of Wright-Hennepin distinguishes you from other electric utility customers in a number of ways:

  • Your voice is heard. You have an input regarding setting policy through a nine-member board elected by you and other Wright-Hennepin members in the local area. Board members serve three-year terms and elections are held at an Annual Meeting each spring.
  • You share in the “profits” of the cooperative. Since the first capital credit refunds were made by WH in 1957, WH has returned more than $90 million to its members.
