Glades Electric Cooperative
You're a member-owner — not just a customer. Use your rights.
Glades Electric Cooperative serves Montura. Unlike investor-owned utilities, it's member-owned: every account holder is an owner with the right to vote for the board, attend the annual meeting, and weigh in on rates and reliability. Learn how to use your membership, report outages, and hold the co-op accountable.
You Are a Member-Owner
A rural electric cooperative is owned by its members. That means you have voting rights, the right to attend meetings, the right to review financials, and the right to run for or support board candidates. This is fundamentally different from being a customer of an investor-owned utility.
