As consumers, we harness our collective buying power to secure sustainable and affordable energy products & services.
As workers and volunteers, we harness our time and energy to work for justice and sustainability and make a real difference in the world.
As investors (and we all can be investors whether it's with a dollar or a million dollars), we harness our financial resources (our member equity, member loans) to creating the sustainable energy resources and jobs we need now.
As voters, we harness our political power to build a sustainable and just future.
Co-op Power is a consumer-owned energy cooperative, owned and democratically controlled by its consumer members. It exists to meet the energy needs of its members and the communities they live in. As owner-members, we are the cooperative. By exercising our owner-member rights of democratic participation in decision making, joint purchasing, member-to-member installations, community-scale sustainable energy development, member education, public outreach and policy advocacy, we can work together through Co-op Power to change the way we power our world.
Co-op Power is cooperatively owned by 420 people, families, organizations, schools, and businesses in MA, VT, CT, NH, and NY.

Co-op Power Owner-Member Responsibilities
Each Co-op Power Owner-Member agrees to:
-
Join with other members to create a sustainable and just energy future in our region by pooling our capital, purchasing power, and voting power
-
Purchase energy products and services through the Co-op when the price, quality, and service work for me
-
Work together with other members, staff, and the board to accomplish the Co-op’s mission
-
Let Co-op Power know when it is meeting or exceeding my expectations and when I have suggestions
-
Participate in membership meetings to build consensus on how to move our cooperative forward
-
Abide by the Co-op Power articles of incorporation, by-laws and membership rules and regulation
Each Co-op Power Owner-Member acknowledges:
-
My equity share entitles me to the benefits of membership in Co-op Power;
-
My equity share is not an investment that provides a return or dividend and it will not appreciate in value;
-
I cannot sell my Share. Transfers are limited to gifts to a member of my immediate family. I can return my Share to Co-op Power and request that my equity be refunded;
-
Failure to provide Co-op Power with my current address for more than three consecutive years will result in termination of my membership and the donation of my share to Co-op Power.
NOTE: Equity Shares in a cooperative do not appreciate in value, provide a return or dividend, or sell for a profit. If these activities were allowed, the share would be an investment, not a share in a cooperative where people are coming together to meet a common need.
