It’s Co-op Month!

Fall is a busy time, and October is a particularly eventful month with a full swing of school, community, hunting, and sports activities. It’s also when all cooperatives celebrate National Co-op Month.

When I say Cass County Electric Cooperative celebrates Co-op Month, we are celebrating you! After all, our co-op wouldn’t exist without our members.

Our core business purpose is to serve as your electricity provider, but the larger mission of the co-op is to help make our corner of the world a better place. “Concern for the community” is one of seven guiding principles that all co-ops share.

Similar to how our wires run through our service territory, our concern for community flows through all of our decisions––because being a co-op means being a responsible partner and good neighbor.

Cass County Electric works to help our communities thrive through initiatives led by our employees and a local board comprised of neighbors who live right here in our community. Because we’re local, we understand our community’s unique needs and

strive to help meet them.

With our member’s help, we fund Operation Round Up to assist our community’s most vulnerable. We partner with and support local food banks and numerous charitable organizations to support the communities we serve. We’re also proud to support local youth through our Youth Tour and scholarship programs.

The word “cooperative” is close to “cooperation,” meaning people working together toward a common goal—mutually benefitting one another and the larger community. Our employees and member-elected board members are invested in the community where they live and serve. That’s the essence of the cooperative spirit.

As your trusted energy partner, we know that saving energy and money is essential to you. That’s why we have numerous programs to help, including low rates for off-peak electric heating, water heating, and EV charging. Above all, as a co-op, we put our members’ priorities first.

We want to empower you to manage energy use at home. If you

haven’t already, I encourage you to take a moment and download our Cass County Electric app. Through the app, you can conveniently monitor and manage your energy use. And we’re here to help, so call us if you have questions about your energy bills.

If you are interested in learning more about the cooperative, we are hosting a member meeting on Oct. 11 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Fargo. The meeting will begin with a meal of traditional German-inspired cuisine starting at 5:30 PM, followed by an informational meeting at 6:00 PM, including an update on cooperative operations and power supply.

Cass County Electric is continuously examining ways to operate more efficiently while providing the highest level of friendly, knowledgable, reliable service you expect and deserve. After all, we’re your local co-op, built by the members we serve.

For members who enjoy the outdoors, especially the hunters, be mindful of utility equipment, and farmers—look up to avoid hitting power lines and call before you dig! Enjoy your fall, and be safe!

PROGRAMS & SERVICES DEMOCRATIC MEMBER CONTROL

Capital Credits

• At the beginning of every year, any excess revenues, or margins, from the previous year are allocated to our members and later paid out in the form of capital credits. As a member/owner, this means you benefit from any margins produced by the cooperative. Your account will accumulate capital credits each year you are an active member with us. View the insert to learn more.

Board of Directors

• The members of the CCEC board of directors serve as liaisons between fellow members and the coop executive staff, providing guidance and oversight on co-op operations. There are nine directors on the board, one representing each of the eight districts in our service territory, with district nine being an at-large position. CCEC members can run for the co-op board, and elections are held at our annual meeting.

Cooperative Structure

• CCEC is an electric cooperative built by the communities we serve to deliver reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy. We are owned by our members rather than out-of-town shareholders, which means we are always looking for ways to make a difference in the communities we serve beyond delivering electricity. As a cooperative, we operate as a not-for-profit.

6 Highline Notes | October 2022 CassCountyElectric.com

Cooperative Business Model

• As a cooperative, we are owned by the members we serve; our board members live right here in our local area and are elected by co-op members. Because we are owned by our members, any excess revenue is shared back with our members over time. We follow the same seven cooperative principles that all cooperative businesses follow, which means we are always looking to develop new technologies and build infrastructure that benefits us all.

PROGRAMS & SERVICES GIVING BACK

My Co-op Cares

• One of CCEC’s core values is Commitment to Community. We would love to collaborate with your community’s municipality’s projects by sending cooperative employees to work on a community project. Visit CassCountyElectric.com/my-co-op-cares for more information.

Rural Development Finance Corporation Grant (RDFC)

• As an RDFC member, CCEC has access to four, $500 grants available to eligible organizations within our service territory. Eligible projects are community-based projects that will benefit rural areas within our service territory.

Donation Program

• Cass County Electric Cooperative is committed to our consumer members, our employees, and our communities, and we strive to play an active and meaningful role in said communities. We do this through donations to local organizations in our service territory. To request a donation, visit CassCountyElectric.com/community-outreach.

Operation Round Up

• Operation Round Up is a simple, low-cost way CCEC members can give back to the community. Members’ electric bills are rounded up to the nearest dollar, and a volunteer board meets quarterly to distribute the funds. These funds are never used for political purposes or utility bills and are used primarily within our service territory for charitable, educational, environmental, and emergency assistance purposes.

PROGRAMS & SERVICES ENERGY SAVING PROGRAMS

Electric Vehicle Charging Program

Electric vehicles (EV) represent a growing segment of both the transportation and energy industries. Publicly available EV chargers are beginning to pop up around the F-M metro area. Also, Cass County Electric Cooperative now offers members a special rate and a one-time rebate for in-home EV charging. You’ll charge your electric vehicle at home almost every day. Why not pay less every time you plug in?

Heating Program

• When electric demand and market electricity prices are high, an off-peak device in the home automatically switches from an electric heat source to a backup source, such as propane or fuel oil. In exchange, participating members receive discounted off-peak electric rates, which are competitive

CassCountyElectric.com October 2022 | Highline Notes 7

with fuel oil and propane. Our off-peak program is designed to reduce electric demand during peak times, saving you money.

Water Heating Program

• Next to heating and cooling your home, water heating is the largest user of energy. If you are looking for ways to save money, we may be able to help through our off-peak program. We offer a reduced rate in exchange for the ability to interrupt water heaters.

Rebate Incentives

• Numerous rebates are available from CCEC for various heating, water heating, and electric vehicle equipment. Visit our webpage to learn more.

Time-of-Day Rate (pilot)

• During ‘peak’ hours when lots of people are using electricity, the cost for CCEC to provide power is higher. CCEC is currently working with a group of members on testing a Time-of-Day rate pilot project. Participating members will receive on-peak and off-peak pricing for energy consumed during different hours of the day.

PROGRAMS & SERVICES GIVING BACK

Scholarships

• CCEC contributes $1,000 scholarships to a student at each high school within our service territory each year. Awarding these scholarships is decided by each school’s scholarship fund or the Dollars for Scholars chapter. CCEC is not involved with awarding scholarships. University and Trade School Support

• In addition to scholarships for high school students, CCEC provides one $2,000 scholarship through Bismarck State College for students enrolled in the electric lineworker program Youth Tour

• Every year, CCEC sends two high school students on an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C., to learn about the history of cooperatives, visit with the congressional delegation, and become more knowledgeable about the cooperative business model. Students are selected through an essay contest. The contest is up and running—see page 12!

Don’t let controlled burns backfire this fall

Here are some things to keep in mind when planning for a controlled burn:

1. Keep things like temperature, humidity, and wind speed in mind when planning a controlled burn. Check the radar before beginning a fire.

2. Do not start a fire near power poles. Burning poles can cause widespread outages to occur and could easily be costly for the individual who set the fire.

3. Cut grass and weeds and water areas near any power poles to keep the fire from approaching.

4. If a pole does catch fire, call 9-1-1 and Cass County Electric right away. Even if you can put the fire out yourself, the pole could still be burning from the inside and become extremely hazardous.

Perpetual care of the Walcott Cemetery, established in 1882, is important to the community as it serves as a historical reference to those who settled in Walcott and Colfax townships. A Veterans Memorial at this location will be dedicated to those who served with honor and will be a point of interest to those who live in Richland County. Walcott Cemetery and Veterans Memorial’s

mission is one of duty, respect and honor to the over 660 individuals and 52 service members buried in the Walcott Cemetery.

This memorial will serve as a place of comfort and consolation during a time of distress and sadness to families, friends, and neighbors. The monument will convey the overwhelming casualties of war by including the names of those who

were lost or missing in action.

Visitors will see a reflection of themselves in the names of the black granite walls, connecting the living to those lost. This memorial will serve as a historical touchstone – linking the past to the present and enabling people to remember and respect the sacrifice of those who died, fought, participated, or were affected by conflicts.
