CAPITAL CREDITS
Growing Credits Through Energy Usage  Capital credits in the amount of approximately $1,439,822, are currently being paid for the years 1951-1979. The procedures and necessary forms for collecting these funds are listed here.

There are many former and deceased members for whom RGEC does not have current addresses, therefore, we are unable to forward money to them. If you are a member, former member, or the heir of an estate with a capital credit check pending, please carefully review the board policy and procedures to find out how to claim any capital credits payments to which you may be entitled.

Please review the Unclaimed Capital Credits, and notify Consumer Accounting during regular business hours to update member information.

If you are a member or former member and believe that you are entitled to payment of capital credits from Rio Grande Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("RGEC") that were not paid to you and you filed bankruptcy, you must provide the information listed in the Bankruptcy Instructions and complete a Capital Credits Claim Form.
