Together these co-ops serve over 45,000 customers in Utah and surrounding states. Unlike investor-owned utilities, whose rates include profits for outside shareholders, co-ops are owned by those they serve. Co-op customers, also termed members, are the owners of the co-op. As a result, power is provided at low cost, and the margins above cost are returned to the individual members. Each member is also given an equal voice in company affairs, so decisions reflect the desires of consumers, not investors.
